Book Description
This textbook offers an introduction to 3D computer modeling and Pro/ENGINEER. The intent of this textbook is to help students become comfortable working in 3D. Although there are numerous step-by-step examples to illustrate modeling concepts and techniques, this is not a push-button manual.

The textbook begins with 3D modeling basics including 3D modeling methods and model definitions, coordinate systems, and view types and specifications. It then proceeds with the creation of 3D components, the documentation of those components for production, and the combining of components into assemblies. End-of-chapter exercises vary in difficulty from easy to challenging. The exercises provide a chance to review basic concepts as well as increase understanding and modeling skills by applying those concepts and techniques to the creation of some realistic models

Customer Reviews
Good tutorials and problems. The students seem to like it., March 11, 1999
Reviewer: jcshahan@iastate.edu (Ames, Iowa)
I have used this book for 4 semesters to introduce Pro/ENGINEER part models, assemblies, and drawings. Students take the course with wide variety of backgrounds, some are previous users of Pro/ENGINEER, and some have no experience with any CAD program, and most have had some CAD experience. The tutorials are easy to follow, but not overly detailed. The problems presented at the end of each chapter allow the students to get enough practice and apply what the tutorials introduced. The best thing about the book is that the students seem to like it and are able to learn from it.
