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.

This book is intended for both first time and experienced users of Creo Parametric 1.0 and Pro/ENGINEER. The focus is on exercise driven chapters containing exercises demonstrating the functions necessary to learn and utilize Creo Parametric in a mechanical engineering design environment

Originating from an introductory engineering graphics and computer aided design (CAD) course, this text is updated to be compatible with the latest Pro/ENGINEER 2001 release. Through the use of tutorials, exercises, and examples, the author shows studentshow to communicate design ideas graphically.

e-Design: Computer-Aided Engineering Design, Revised First Edition is the first book to integrate a discussion of computer design tools throughout the design process. Through the use of this book, the reader will understand basic design principles and all-digital design paradigms, the CAD/CAE/CAM tools available for various design related tasks, how to put an integrated system together to conduct All-Digital Design (ADD), industrial practices in employing ADD, and tools for product development. - Comprehensive coverage of essential elements for understanding and practicing the e-Design paradigm in support of product design, including design method and process, and computer based tools and technology - Part I: Product Design Modeling discusses virtual mockup of the product created in the CAD environment, including not only solid modeling and assembly theories, but also the critical design parameterization that converts the product solid model into parametric representation, enabling the search for better design alternatives - Part II: Product Performance Evaluation focuses on applying CAE technologies and software tools to support evaluation of product performance, including structural analysis, fatigue and fracture, rigid body kinematics and dynamics, and failure probability prediction and reliability analysis - Part III: Product Manufacturing and Cost Estimating introduces CAM technology to support manufacturing simulations and process planning, sheet forming simulation, RP technology and computer numerical control (CNC) machining for fast product prototyping, as well as manufacturing cost estimate that can be incorporated into product cost calculations - Part IV: Design Theory and Methods discusses modern decision-making theory and the application of the theory to engineering design, introduces the mainstream design optimization methods for both single and multi-objectives problems through both batch and interactive design modes, and provides a brief discussion on sensitivity analysis, which is essential for designs using gradient-based approaches - Tutorial lessons and case studies are offered for readers to gain hands-on experiences in practicing e-Design paradigm using two suites of engineering software: Pro/ENGINEER-based, including Pro/MECHANICA Structure, Pro/ENGINEER Mechanism Design, and Pro/MFG; and SolidWorks-based, including SolidWorks Simulation, SolidWorks Motion, and CAMWorks.
