1.INTRODUCTION TO PRO/ENGINEERING
1.1 What is Pro/ENGINEER®?
Pro/ENGINEER is a feature-based, parametric solid modeling system with many extended

design and manufacturing applications. As a comprehensive CAD/CAE/CAM system, covering
many aspects of mechanical design, analysis and manufacturing, Pro/ENGINEER represents the
leading edge of CAD/CAE/CAM technology.
Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire is a feature- based solid modeling tool. A feature is defined as the
smallest building block and any solid model created in Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire is an integration of
a number of these building blocks. Each feature can be edited individually to bring in any change in
the solid model. The use of the feature- based property provides greater flexibility to the parts
created.
1.2 STARTING PRO/E

To start Pro/E on a Windows machine, there may be an icon on the desktop or in the Start
menu at the bottom left of the screen on the Windows taskbar. The program takes a while to load.
The screen looks like the Figure 1, which is a default Pro/E screen.
1.3 MODULES IN PRO / ENGINEER WILDFIRE

1.4 FEATURES OF PRO / ENGINEER WILDFIRE
Simple and powerful tools
Parametric design
Feature based approach
Parent child relationship
Associative and model centric
There is bidirectional associativity between all models of Pro/ENGINEER WILDFIRE. The
bidirectional associative nature of a software package is defined as its ability to ensure that if any
modification is made in a particular model in one mode, the modification is reflected in the same
model in other modes also.
For example, if any change is made in a model in the Part mode and upon regeneration, the
changes will be highlighted in the Assembly mode also. Similarly it will be highlighted in the Part
mode also.
This bidirectional associativity also correlates the two- dimensional (2D) drawing views
generated in the Drawing mode and the solid model created in the part mode of Pro/ENGINEER
Wildfire. If the dimensions of the 2D drawing mode are modified, the change will be automatically
reflected in the solid model and also in the assembly after regeneration. Likewise, if the solid model
is modified in the part mode, the changes will also be seen in the 2D drawing views of that model in
the Drawing mode. Thus, bidirectional associativity means that if modification is made to any one
application, it changes the output of all the other modes related to the model. This nature relates the
various modes available in Pro/ENGINEER.
1.5 IMPOTANT TERMS AND DFFINITIONS:

Entity
An element of section geometry is called an entity. The entity can be an arc, line, circle, point,
conic, coordinate system, and so on. When one entity is divided at a point then the total number of
entities is said to be two.
Dimension
It is the measurement of one or more entities.
Constraint
Constraints are logical operations that are performed on the selected geometry to make it more
accurate in defining its position and size with respect to the other geometry.

Parameter
It is defined as a numeric value that defines a feature. For example, all the dimensions in a sketch
are parameters. The parameters can be modified at any time.
Relation
A relation is an equation that relates two entities.
Weak Dimensions and Weak Constraints

Weak dimensions and weak constrains are temporary dimensions or constraints that appear
in gray color. These are automatically applied to the sketch when it is drawn using the Intent
Manager. They are removed from the sketch without any confirmation from the user. The weak
dimensions or the weak constrains should be changed to strong dimensions or constrains if they
seem to be useful for the sketch. This only saves an extra step of dimensioning the sketch or
applying constraints to the sketch,
Strong Dimensions and Strong Constrains

Strong dimensions and strong constrains appear in yellow color. These dimensions and
constrains are neither removed automatically nor applied automatically. All the dimensions added
manually to a sketch are strong dimensions.
Default Datum planes

Generally, the first feature in the part mode is the three default datum planes. These datum
planes are further used to create the base feature. These datum planes act as a plane on which a 2D
sketch can be drawn and then convertedinto a 3D model by protrusion. Generally, the base feature is
referenced with the default datum planes.
1.6 SKETCHER
A Sketcher is a 2D section of the feature being created. It is a basic 2D shape, and is created
on a planar reference. Almost all models designed in Pro / ENGINEER, consist of datums, sketched
feature, and placed features. For drawing datums and placed features, sketches are not required.
However, a sketch is needed to create any Sketched feature, such as Extrude or Revolve.
Basic steps in creating a sketch:
1. Sketch the required section in geometry.
2. Add constraints to the geometry.
3. Add dimensions to the geometry.

4. Add relations to the sketch.
5. Regenerate the section.
1.7 CREATING BASE FEATURES

Base feature, is the first solid feature that is created, when a model is created in the part
mode. It is important to select the base features carefully as the other feature are built, on the basis
of this feature.
Base features are usually created using datum planes. Pro / ENGINEER part mode enables
the user to design models as solids, in a 3D solid modeling environment.
Extrusion
Extrusion is the process of defining a volume by protruding / removing the sketched cross
section, along an axis normal to the section plane.
Revolving
The Revolve command revolves /rotates the sketched section, through the specified angle about a
centerline.
Sweep
The sweep option extrudes a section along a defined path. For creating a sweep, the user has
to define or create a section and path. The path (trajectory) can be an open or a closed one. The
sweep option can be used for adding/removing material.
Constant section sweep
Constant section sweep is the basic type of sweep, where the cross section of the swept
feature, remains constant throughout the sweep.
Helical sweep
The helical sweep command extrudes a section along a helical trajectory. For this command
the user has to define a trajectory that will specify the shape and height of the helix, a pitch value,
and the cross section of the helical feature. This commandis mainly used to create helical springs
and threads.
Variable section sweep
The variable option sweeps a section that varies along the shape of the trajectories, by
controlling the section orientation, rotation, and geometry.
Blends
The blend command creates a feature, by joining two or more planner sections at their edges,
to form a continuous feature. The number of entities in each section should be the same.

1.8 ASSEMBLY MODELING
An assembly is a collection of parts, oriented and positioned together. Assembly designs are
created, in the assembly mode of Pro/ENGINEER.
The general procedure for creating assembly is as follows:
1. Import parts into the assembly file.
2. Create additional parts in the assembly mode.
3. Add constraints to the parts.
4. Perform assembly operation if required.
5. Create an exploded view.
Top-Down Assembly
In the top-down approach of assembling the components, the components are created in the
assembly file itself, and then assembled, using the assembly constraints. The parts created in
assembly mode are saved as .prt files.
Bottom-Up Assembly
In this method, the parts created in part mode are assembled in the assembly mode, using
assembly constraints.
Assembly files created in this method, occupy less disc space as they contain only the
information related to the assembling of components. However, if any of the assembly components
is moved from its original location, the assembly will not open.
Assembly constraints
Assembly constraints are used to position a component, with respect to the other
components. These constraints are available in the component placement dialog box. The following
placement constraints are available:
Automatic
Mate
Align
Insert
Coordinate system
Tangent
Point on line
Point on surface
Edge on surface
Angle with an offset value

Automatic:
When this constraint is chosen, Pro/ENGINEER assumes the constraint and applies it
according to the type of entity selected. For example, if the user selects axes of two components to
assemble, the Pro/ENGINEER will understand and the align constraint will be applied to the two
components.
Mate:
The Mate placement constraint allows the user to make two selected planes, datum planes,
faces, or a combination of a datum plane and a face coplanar with respect to each other. The faces or
datums selected may or may not be in contact with each other.
Align:
The align constraint is used to assemble two components by making the selected faces or
planes coplanar such that the aligned faces or planes are facing in the same direction. Apart from
planes and faces, the user can also select datum axes, datum points, edges, or vertices for applying
the Align constraint.
Insert:
The insert constraint is used to assemble the revolved components. Applying this constraint
allows the revolved component, holes, or the combination of both to share the same orientation of
the central axis.
Coordinate Sys:
The coordinate system constraint aligns the coordinate system of the first component with
the coordinate system of the second component.
Tangent:
The tangent constraint is used to make the selected circular face tangent to the other selected
face or plane and at the same time make them coplanar.
Point on line:
The point on line constraint is used to align the selected datum point or the vertex on the first
part with the selected edges, datum axis, or datum curve on the second part.

Point on surface:
The point on surface constraint is used to align the selected datum point or vertex on the first
part with the selected surface or datum plane on the second part.
Edge on surface:
The edge on surface constraint is used to align the selected edge of the first part with
selected surface or datum plane on the second part.
