Pro Engineer Wildfire 5.0 For Engineers And Designers (With CD)

0.0

Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 5.0 for engineers and Designers textbook introduces the readers to Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 5.0, the world’s leading parametric solid modeling software. In this textbook, the author emphasizes on the solid modeling techniques that can be used to improve the productivity and efficiency of the users. Also, the chapters are structured in a pedagogical sequence that makes this textbook very effective in learning the features and capabilities of the software. Key Features Tutorial Approach: The author has adopted the tutorial point-of-view and the learn-by-doing approach throughout the textbook. This approach guides the users through the process of creating the models in the tutorials. Real-World Projects as Tutorials: The author has used about 50 real-world mechanical engineering projects as tutorials in this book to enable readers to relate these tutorials to the real-world models in the mechanical engineering industry. In addition, there are about 30 exercises that are also based on the real-world mechanical engineering projects. Tips and Notes: Additional information is provided to the users in the form of tips and notes. Heavily Illustrated Text: The text in this book is heavily illustrated with about 1200 line diagrams and screen-capture images. Learning Objectives: The first page of every chapter summarizes the topics covered in that chapter. Self-Evaluation Test, review Questions, and Exercises: Every chapter ends with a Self-Evaluation test so that the users can assess their knowledge of the chapter. The answers to the Self-Evaluation test are given at the end of the chapter. Also, the Review Questions and Exercises are given at the end of each chapter and they can be used by the Instructors as test questions and exercises. About The Author Sham Tickoo is a professor of Manufacturing Engineering Technology at Purdue University Calumet. He joined Purdue University in the year 1987. Since then he has been teaching drafting and design, AutoCAD, AutoLISP, 3ds max, 3ds viz, Mechanical Desktop, Pro/Engineer, Autodesk Inventor, etc. Prof. Tickoo is also one of the best known authors of CAD/CAM books in the world market. He has authored around 60 books, including the updates, on the latest CAD/CAM technology. He is one of the very few authors in the world whose books are translated and sold in the countries like Italy, China, Philippines, and Russia. Prof. Tickoo has also developed a software package called SMLayout that has been registered by Autodesk Inc. as a third party software product. This software package is currently being used by some companies in Canada, United States and Columbia. SMLayout is written in the AutoLISP programming language. It generates flat layout drawing of some complicated geometric shapes. This software package addresses the needs of steel fabricators and manufacturers of sheet metal products. The programs also provide a dimensioning option for automatic dimensioning of the drawing.
