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.

Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 4.0 is a 3D Computer Aided Design (CAD) software application. As a feature-based, parametric, and associative solid modeling software package, it allows the user to create 3D designs for engineering projects. This quick reference includes all the major concepts related to Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 4.0 functionality, technical configuration, and installation in an easy-to-understand, step-by-step format. It covers all the major commands and modes, including Sketch Mode, Part Mode, Assembly Mode, and Drawing Mode. The format provides the reader with all of the details to learn the basics through an easy method of instruction.
