Parametric Modeling with Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 3.0

by Randy H. Shih

The primary goal of this book is to introduce the aspects of Solid Modeling and Parametric Modeling. The text is a hands-on, exercise-intensive approach to all the important parametric modeling techniques and concepts. Each Lesson introduces a new set of commands and concepts, building on previous lessons. This text guides you from constructing basic shapes to building intelligent solid models and creating multi-view drawings. The basic premise of this book is that the more designs you create, the better you learn the software. Table of Contents Introduction
