Get hands-on experience with the most widely used feature-based parametric solid modeling package in the world.

A Tutorial Guide to PT/Modeler™ and Pro/ENGINEER® is the ideal tool for beginners getting started with powerful design and production tools from Parametric Technology Corporation. This book provides an overview of basic PT/Modeler commands. Because PT/Modeler is a derivative of the powerful Pro/ENGINEER package and their interfaces are virtually identical, this text can also be used to learn the basics of Pro/ENGINEER.

This manual presents basic concepts in an efficient, accessible way, allowing the user to get up and running quickly. Topics from getting-started basics to advanced assemblies are covered in 62 short tutorials―all accompanied by detailed supporting text. The book is organized so that it is useful during the tutorial phase, during review, and later as a reference. You will also find in this text important background information on such topics as parametric design, 3D solid modeling, hierarchical design, and creating engineering drawings.

• Overview material on PT/Render and PT/Library, popular add-on packages
• Step-by-step tutorials in a handy, easy-to-follow table format
• Supporting data files, available via the world wide web, for use with some of the tutorials
