Advanced Assembly Design with Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 4.0Overview

Course Code TRN- 2174-T

Course Length 3 Days

In this course, you will learn how to usePro/ENGINEER Wildfire 4.0 to create andmanage complex assemblies. You will learnhow to use advanced assembly tools thatenable you to add and maintain design,increase your efficiency, and increasesystem performance when working withlarge assemblies. In addition, you will learnthe basics of using and creating predefinedassembly structures and skeletons, bothvaluable tools typically used in a top-downdesign process. The course also includes anassembly design project that enables youto practice your new skills by performingvarious design tasks in an assemblymodel.At the end of each module, youwill complete a set of review questions toreinforce critical topics from that module.Your instructor will discuss these with theclass. At the end of the course, you willfind a course assessment in Pro/FICIENCYintended to evaluate your understanding ofthe course as a whole.
