MECHANICAL DESIGN MODELING USING PROENGINEER by Condoor is the most up-to-date text on PRO/E, covering the latest release of the product PRO/ENGINEER 2001. This new workbook/text introduces an innovative way of teaching CAD and PRO/E methods by using actual mechanical design projects. The approach teaches instructions and commands, illustrations, and explanations by way of doing realistic mechanical projects. Each page is laid out carefully so that students can match design steps with PRO/E commands and procedures. Condoor's unique approach accomodates beginners, intermediate students, and those with some PRO/E capability.

Mechanism Design and Analysis Using PTC Creo Mechanism 4.0 is designed to help you become familiar with Mechanism, a module of the PTC Creo Parametric software family, which supports modeling and analysis (or simulation) of mechanisms in a virtual (computer) environment. Capabilities in Mechanism allow users to simulate and visualize mechanism performance. Capabilities in Mechanism allow users to simulate and visualize mechanism performance. Using Mechanism early in the product development stage could prevent costly redesign due to design defects found in the physical testing phase; therefore, contributing to a more cost effective, reliable, and efficient product development process. The book is written following a project-based learning approach and covers the major concepts and frequently used commands required to advance readers from a novice to an intermediate level. Basic concepts discussed include: model creation, such as body and joint definitions; analysis type selection, such as static (assembly) analysis, kinematics and dynamics; and results visualization. The concepts are introduced using simple, yet realistic, examples. Verifying the results obtained from computer simulation is extremely important. One of the unique features of this textbook is the incorporation of theoretical discussions for kinematic and dynamic analyses in conjunction with simulation results obtained using Mechanism. The theoretical discussions simply support the verification of simulation results rather than providing an in-depth discussion on the subjects of kinematics and dynamics.

Product Design Modeling using CAD/CAE is the third part of a four-part series. It is the first book to integrate discussion of computer design tools throughout the design process. Through this book, you will: - Understand basic design principles and all digital design paradigms - Understand computer-aided design, engineering, and manufacturing (CAD/CAE/CAM) tools available for various design-related tasks - Understand how to put an integrated system together to conduct all-digital design (ADD) - Provides a comprehensive and thorough coverage of essential elements for product modeling using the virtual engineering paradigm - Covers CAD/CAE in product design, including solid modeling, mechanical assembly, parameterization, product data management, and data exchange in CAD - Case studies and tutorial examples at the end of each chapter provide hands-on practice in implementing off-the-shelf computer design tools - Provides two projects showing the use of Pro/ENGINEER and SolidWorks to implement concepts discussed in the book

Mechanism Design with Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 4.0 is designed to help you become familiar with Mechanism Design, a module in the Pro/ENGINEER software family, which supports modeling and analysis (or simulation) of mechanisms in a virtual (computer) environment. The book is written following a project-based learning approach and is intentionally kept simple to help you learn Mechanism Design. The book covers most of the major concepts and frequently used commands required to advance readers from a novice to an intermediate level. Basic concepts discussed include: model creation, such as body and joint definitions; analysis type selection, such as static (assembly) analysis, kinematics and dynamics; and results visualization. The concepts are introduced using simple, yet realistic, examples.

The primary goal of Parametric Modeling with Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 5.0 is to introduce the aspects of solid modeling and parametric modeling. The text is a hands-on, exercise-intensive approach to all the important parametric modeling techniques and concepts. This book contains a series of eleven tutorial style lessons designed to introduce beginning CAD users to the most commonly used features of Pro/ENGINEER. Each lesson introduces a new set of commands and concepts, building on previous lessons. This text guides you from constructing basic shapes to building intelligent solid models and creating multi-view drawings. The basic premise of this book is that the more designs you create, the better you learn the software. This book will establish a good basis for exploring and growing in the exciting field of computer aided engineering. By the end of this book the reader will advance to an intermediate level Pro/ENGINEER user.
