Course Duration: 40 Hours
Tuition: $2,300 US
Overview:
Introduction to constraint based modeling assembly and drawing utilizing the latest release of Pro/ENGINEER. This course was developed for new users who want to become proficient with Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 5.0 (or 4.0) in one week. Course focuses on core-modeling skills in this comprehensive, hands-on course. Topics include sketching, part modeling, assemblies, drawings, and basic model management techniques. This course also includes several comprehensive design projects that enable one to practice new skills by creating parts, assemblies, and drawings.

Prerequisite: None, a mechanical aptitude is helpful but not necessary.
Topics:
- Overview of the Wildfire user interface. Creating and assembling parts.
- Customize environment / Map key development.
- Creating features: Extrudes, Sweeps, Patterns, Shell and Draft, Rounds, solid geometry using curves and surfaces.
- Use Modify, Redefine, and Relations features to maintain more control over geometry.
- Insert Mode/ Reorder/ Edit Reference (reroute) / Edit Definition (redefine).
- Utilize Edit Definition (learn to redefine Pro/E parts that others have modeled with confidence).
Discussion:
- Discuss piece part modeling as opposed to the top down approach.
- Discuss 3D Notes and production drawings for fully detailed piece parts vs. for quality control.
- Discuss the multiple uses of drawings (to document models and their use as design tools for controlling snap fit, accuracy and locating interference). Learn how to take advantage of the parametric and associative nature of Pro/ENGINEER.
Projects:
- Model and detail a series of simple blocks.
- Create Detail drawings of block models.
- Create an assembly of pre existing toy dump truck.
- Use Lego parts to create an assembly of Lego geometry
- Use sweeps and top down design to develop a desktop stapler.
- Modify an existing assembly of parts with interference issues.
