The book is great for a beginning user of Pro/MECHANICA. I found the book to be very helpful since I am a new user of Pro/MECHANICA, but also found it to be somewhat limited. I know that Pro/MECHANICA has a lot of integrated features, but only the basics are mentioned in this book. Also, the book only covers structure analysis, and does not cover thermal or motion analysis.

This book does a good job of explaining how to set up structure analyses and common pitfalls. It's clear and well-illustrated but not very broad. Advanced topics are covered in passing (springs and other idealizations) at most. But it's still a good book, and it doesn't take long to get up to speed with.

I have read the book and I found it the best for beginning. There are also many things which author have not include such as techniques for materials with anisotropy (assembly mechanica), or modal - shock - dynamic analysis. Beam Idealization with elements of masses and springs is not covered. The only analysis wich covers is static.
