Book Description

1585034150 978-1585034154 December 19, 2007
The eleven lessons in this tutorial introduce students to Pro/ENGINEER's Wildfire 4.0 design capabilities. The tutorial covers the major concepts and frequently used commands required to advance from a novice to an intermediate user level. Major topics include part and assembly creation, and creation of engineering drawings. Also illustrated are the major functions that make Pro/ENGINEER a parametric solid modeler.

Although the commands are presented in a click-by-click manner, an effort has been made, in addition to showing/illustrating the command usage, to explain why certain commands are being used and the relation of feature selection and construction to the overall part design philosophy. Moreover, since error recovery is an important skill, considerable time is spent exploring the created models (in fact, intentionally inducing some errors), so that users will become comfortable with the debugging phase of model creation.

At the end of each lesson is a short quiz reviewing the new topics covered in that chapter. Each lesson concludes with a number of simple exercise parts that can be created using new commands taught in that lesson. In addition to these a project is also included that consists of a number of parts that are introduced with the early lessons and finally assembled at the end. The tutorials in this textbook cover the following topics:

Introduction to the program and its operation:

  • The features used in part creation
  • Modeling utilities
  • Creating engineering drawings
  • Creating assemblies and assembly drawings

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but could be better!, April 25, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Pro/ENGINEER Tutorial Wildfire 4.0 and MultiMedia CD (Perfect Paperback)
I'm an Engineer that's not 100% intuitive. Most of the time, I really have to work at it to succeed, so for all those people who pick up this book and got everything in it on their first try, this review is not for you. Proe isn't a really easy program to use at all!!! I tried the tutorials given with the program and forums, but they're not really helpful. This book really helps people to get a firm foundation of the program and with each lesson helps you get more and more comfortable with manipulating parts and making assemblies. However, there are some parts of this book where the author clearly hasn't checked his statements or if he had mentioned something earlier, you would be saved hours of agony and frustration. I would sit there for hours on a lesson trying to figure out how to reproduce the same patterns in his book only to discover a much simpler way to do it in later lessons, or the fact that he left out some critical part to the lesson which you may never get unless you figure it out on your own. However, for the beginner who's trying to break in this is a good book. It still has a long way to go in terms of clarity though.

This review is from: Pro/ENGINEER Tutorial Wildfire 4.0 and MultiMedia CD (Perfect Paperback)

This is a very good beginner's guide to Pro/E Wildfire 4. Pro/E is not easy to learn (at least it is difficult for me). The author has attempted, and to my mind at least, generally succeeded, in not only presenting the mechanics of constructing the models, but also to convey the methodology of good design practice. He consistently stresses the role of planning and proper notations for the modeling process. Stress is placed on the proper use of constraints for symmetry and dimensioning to facilitate later design modifications. With Pro/E's model tree and documentation, a designer's competency (or lack of it) is indelibly imprinted on the design, so the author stress the "robustness" of a proper design, that is, are features dimensioned to allow future modification without starting over from scratch. I don't want to imply that the book is "preachy", it is not, there are plenty of click by click instructions. The book is terse, it must be studied. I found myself reading and rereading the instructions. I had the usual several hours of unproductive flailing looking for the proper command and frustrations when my models failed. I am no doubt older than most Pro/e beginners; I have been retired from Professional engineers more than 15 years. I turned 79 on my last birthday and am learning Pro/e for the sheer joy of seeing what tools are available to present day engineers. This book has helped make that learning experience productive and enjoyable.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good introduction to ProE, March 8, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Pro/ENGINEER Tutorial Wildfire 4.0 and MultiMedia CD (Perfect Paperback)
Very helpful for initially getting to understand how ProE works.
Prepare to spend a lot of time following the instructions in the book and doing it more then once as the isn't always entirely clear.
