Introduction

____________________________________________________________________________________

Pro Engineer Wild Fire is basically an engineering graphics CAD soware. It is a 3D CAD / CAM / CAE

soluon. It is a tool to develop engineering parts such as screws, nuts, springs, bolts, engine parts etc. It

also provides a soluon for eding the parts surface.

Interface of Pro E

We can observe the axes dened in Pro-E Window.

Click on the File to do the required task.


12/45

This window will appear. It gives a choice to user

what he wants to do whether it is about

developing a part or sketching.

If we will press OK. Axes will appear in Pro E

window will appear. You can choose any opon fordevelopment of the part.

1) Extrusion 2) Revoluon 3) Boundary Blend

4) Swept Blend

In Extrusion, view of part from any plane (Frontal,

Horizontal, Top) is sketched. Then its 3D model is

made.

In Revoluon, axis of revoluon is dened for a

sketch. Then its 3D Model is constructed

In Boundary Blend, two views are sketched and are

blended to get a 3D Model.

For sketching any view, we have to open a window

as shown above and click on SKETCH. You can

sketch using the tools available in Pro E.

Tools are

The 7th

and 8th

opons are bit tricky and we will discuss them in coming chapters.

ASSEMBLY:

Assembly is the combinaon of dierent parts. These are

assembled to get a proper funcon. For example Internal

Combuson Engine, nut and bolt etc.

Desired acon cannot be performed by a single part but by

the assembled one.Dierent objects can be assembled using Pro E assembly

Tool.


13/45

Swept Blend:

It is a Pro E tool for hollow 3D surfaces. It needs two points and a basic shape to get them

merged.

Manufacturing:

It is another tool of Pro E for the development of complex parts like gears, hexagons, spindles.

Grooves can be made using manufacturing tool. Dierent types of tools such as cung and

drilling tools are used. Required acon is performed by the applicaon of Milling Machine,

Lathe and drilling machine.

Boundary Blend and Swept Blend

Boundary Blend:

Axes are shown in the gure.

Sketch the surface on the

planes. In our case, surface is to

be sketched on the frontal

plane.

We can use also the Datum

planes parallel to any one of theplanes. The concept used in the

boundary blend is to merge the

boundaries of the sketches.

Below is shown the sketch of

two circles on the frontal plane.

These two circles cannot be

merged because they are on the

same plane. Thus a third sketch

is needed.

Select the plane perpendicular

to the Frontal Plane.

Sketch Another Circle.
