This tutorial shows two different ways to add exploded views to drawings and how to edit component position. It is very useful since it is not always well known that two methods exist.
STEP is an international standard, defined in publications produced by the U.S. Product Data Association IGES/PDES Organization. Through STEP (Standard for the Exchange of Product Model Data), you can exchange complete product definitions between heterogeneous computer-aided design, engineering, and manufacturing systems. You can export the combined surface and solid data, and faceted geometry that is in accordance with AP203 and AP214 STEP multiple shape reps and hybrid models.... (Show more)(Show less)
Recapture the design value in your physical parts. Pro/ENGINEER Reverse Engineering enables you to transform existing physical products into accurate designs from 3D scan data, without losing any of the original design intent or critical geometric data.... (Show more)(Show less)
In some cases when BOM balloons are displayed for a repeat region, it is desirable to have the balloons appear as a symbol other than the default circle symbol. The procedure below demonstrates how to create and use custom BOM symbols.... (Show more)(Show less)
One of the more commonly overlooked analysis types is the One-Sided Volume Analysis. This is a great way to leverage the associative properties of Pro/ENGINEER for what may seem like an otherwise obscure task; calculating volume. While the Mass Properties can give you the overall volume of a model, the One-Sided Volume analysis takes things one step further, and provides a more practical analysis result, the usable volume of a container. The following will outline how to quickly setup and make use of this type of analysis feature. (This works best with shelled geometry).... (Show more)(Show less)
This allows for the connectivity between any rotating axis, simulating belts and pulleys. Not only can the kinematics of the belt pulley system be simulated but dynamics and forces can also be analyzed. ... (Show more)(Show less)
This short tutorial gets you started creating a cone with Pro/ENGINEER. To create cones you can use the Revolve feature. A revolved feature is an axis symmetric shape that is created by revolving an open or closed section view by a specified angle around a central axis. The section can represent a protrusion or a cut, that is, it can either add or remove material.... (Show more)(Show less)
This recorded instructor-led training video on Assembly Structure provides a quick overview on top-down designs in Creo Elements/Pro. This recording is from a Best Practice Academy course.
