This is the second part of a four part series that covers discussion of computer design tools throughout the design process. Through this book, the reader will... - ...understand basic design principles and all digital design paradigms. - ...understand CAD/CAE/CAM tools available for various design related tasks. - ...understand how to put an integrated system together to conduct All Digital Design (ADD). - ...understand industrial practices in employing ADD and tools for product development. - Provides a comprehensive and thorough coverage of essential elements for product manufacturing and cost estimating using the computer aided engineering paradigm - Covers CAD/CAE in virtual manufacturing, tool path generation, rapid prototyping, and cost estimating; each chapter includes both analytical methods and computer-aided design methods, reflecting the use of modern computational tools in engineering design and practice - A case study and tutorial example at the end of each chapter provides hands-on practice in implementing off-the-shelf computer design tools - Provides two projects at the end of the book showing the use of Pro/ENGINEER® and SolidWorks® to implement concepts discussed in the book

This practical, hands-on guide to Parametric Technology Corporation's Pro/ENGINEER® computer-aided design program builds users' skills in creating parts, assemblies, and drawings, while helping them master Pro/ENGINEER® commands by working through 20 short lessons. Each step-by-step lesson builds on the one that precedes it, while focusing the user's attention on a specific set of commands and concepts that are applied to a part, an assembly, or a drawing. As a result, users learn Pro/ENGINEER® command sin the context of doing real work, at a pace that encourages success. Appendixes at the back of the book contain advanced projects, references materials, and project design planning sheets.

Selected, peer reviewed papers from the 2013 4th International Conference on Advances in Materials and Manufacturing (ICAMMP 2013), 18-19 December, 2013, Kunming, China

Mechanism Design with Creo Elements/Pro 5.0 is designed to help you become familiar with Mechanism Design, a module in the Creo Elements/Pro (formerly Pro/ENGINEER) software family, which supports modeling and analysis (or simulation) of mechanisms in a virtual (computer) environment. Capabilities in Mechanism Design allow users to simulate and visualize mechanism performance. Using Mechanism Design early in the product development stage could prevent costly redesign due to design defects found in the physical testing phase; therefore, contributing to a more cost effective, reliable, and efficient product development process. The book is written following a project-based learning approach and covers the major concepts and frequently used commands required to advance readers from a novice to an intermediate level. Basic concepts discussed include: model creation, such as body and joint definitions; analysis type selection, such as static (assembly) analysis, kinematics and dynamics; and results visualization. The concepts are introduced using simple, yet realistic, examples. Verifying the results obtained from computer simulation is extremely important. One of the unique features of this textbook is the incorporation of theoretical discussions for kinematic and dynamic analyses in conjunction with simulation results obtained using Mechanism Design. The theoretical discussions simply support the verification of simulation results rather than providing an in-depth discussion on the subjects of kinematics and dynamics.
