Pro/Engineer Wildfire [With CDROM]

I AM A CONTRACT MECHANICAL DESIGN ENGINEER, AND HAVE BEEN FOR ALMOST 20 YEARS. THE PROBLEM WITH CONTRACTING IS THAT EVERYONE WANTS YOU TO KNOW THE NEWEST SOFTWARE, BUT WHERE DO YOU LEARN IT? INEXPENSIVELY THAT IS. LOUIS GARY LAMITS WILDFIRE BOOK IS THE ANSWER. I SPENT A COUPLE OF WEEKS LAST SUMMER DOING THE TUTORIALS, THEN LOOKING FOR A JOB, AND FINALLY GETTING ONE ON WILDFIRE. WHEN I STARTED WORKING I HAD NO PROBLEM MODELING AND DETAILING. IN FACT I PROBABLY KNEW A LOT MORE COMMANDS THAN SOME PEOPLE WHO HAD BEEN USING WILDFIRE FOR A WHILE. HE ALSO HAS A WEBSITE WWW.CAD-RESOURCES.COM THAT HAS SHEETMETAL AND SURFACE TUTORIALS, THAT CAN BE DOWNLOADED FREE!!! IF YOUR A PRO/E USER WHO WANTS TO LEARN WILDFIRE, OR NEW TO PRO/E THEN BUY THIS BOOK. P.S. THE 'PRO/E WILDFIRE TRYOUT' SOFTWARE WILL ONLY RUN FOR 60 DAYS, BUT YOU CAN GET A NEW DISK SENT TO YOU FOR $2.00 (SEE WEBSITE), OR YOU CAN JUST TURN BACK THE DATE ON YOUR COMPUTER TO KEEP IT RUNNING. -TOMMY C-

Concise and well presented with a strong approach on appropriate parametric modeling techniques that are not usually covered in other books. This is with out a doubt the best-written introduction book on Pro/E I have ever seen. It is also quite good as an upgrade book. Lamits propensity for writing textbooks throughout the years truly comes out in this new version. I could not ask for a better manual to instruct my students with. Not only does it cover parametric modeling with a step-by-step approach were one learned technique builds on another, but it also covers assembles and detailing as well. It comprehensively covers the new WildFire interface and includes a free CD with a 60 to 120 day Tryout Edition that contains Pro/ENGINEER and Pro/MECHANICA. What a deal...If you find a better book I will eat this one!

The text has been completed reformatted to one column, with linear steps and boxed commands. I used the previous four versions and this is the easiest to follow- learn from and teach with. Provides comprehensive coverage of Pro/E part, assembly, and detail modules. Includes the complete Pro/ENGINEER Tryout Edition for free. Tryout Edition is an educational version of the Pro/E software and comes with Pro/MECHANICA, Animation and Mechanism Modules.
