This review is from: Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire for Designers (Paperback)

This is a wonderful and effective way of learning. The approach adopted by the author makes the Pro/E software easy to learn. There are so many solved tutorials in the book that i learned solid modeling very easily and without any trouble.

The book covers all the major and widely used commands. These commands are explained using graphics and pictures. The tech support provided by the author is efficient. I contacted him when i was having trouble to install wildfire on my pc. My query was replied within 24 hrs. Thanks again to the author.I recommend this book to all ProE users.

I visited amazon.com for the Wildfire book. The only reason I chose Sham's book was looking at the Table of Contents. This book covers all the major portions of Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire. Good work on Surface modeling chapter that I downloaded for free from the author's website. Buy this book if you want to learn Wildfire.

This review is from: Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire for Designers (Paperback)

I am using Pro/ENGINEER since release 2000i and when I got Wildfire I thought I will learn it myself. But after playing with it for some time, I realized that I need some text to refer to. Then I got hold of this book. It is one of the best books available that someone can use to learn Wildfire. This book describes the solid modeling tools in Wildfire in detail with a lot of images and the language used is easily understandable. While working on engineering projects, I find this book very handy and I can refer to the explanation for modeling tools that are generally needed for most of the mechanical engineering projects. In addition to the explanation to the modeling tools, there are tutorials in the book with step-by-step explanation. A number of tips and notes are given in this book that helped me in increasing my efficiency. By using this book I not only learned to use Wildfire but also learned to use it efficiently. The Detailing and Drafting portion of Wildfire is also explained with lot of details, making it easy for me to generate various types of drawing views of assemblies and solid models.
The chapter on surface modeling that is available for free download also seems to be good with 2 tutorials although I have not started learning them. But seeing the images they seem to be good.
