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.

In response to user demand for more advanced books on Pro/ENGINEER, Automating Design offers straightforward programming logic used in automating design. This book walks you through generating Pro/ENGINEER parts assemblies and creating Pro/programs to control them. Included are advanced tips and techniques for creating and manipulating complex geometries.

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.

Thinking Pro/ENGINEER empowers beginning and intermediate users to analyze and improve their execution of the design process in Pro/ENGINEER, from concept to manufactured product. Mastering Pro/ENGINEER and its many modules takes more than learning the menus and how parent/child relationships work; learn how to think in Pro/ENGINEER with the many examples and hundreds of illustrations in this book. Good design practice and execution are distilled to their essence. Written to be independent of Pro/ENGINEER versions.

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.
