Creo Parametric 9.0 Tutorial The eleven lessons in this tutorial introduce you to the design capabilities of Creo Parametric 9. 0. The tutorial covers the major concepts and frequently used commands required to advance from a novice to an intermediate user level. Major topics include part and assembly creation and creation of engineering drawings. Also illustrated are the major functions that make Creo Parametric a parametric solid modeler. Although the commands are presented in a click-by-click manner an effort has been made in addition to showing/illustrating the command usage to explain why certain commands are being used and the relation of feature selection and construction to the overall part design philosophy. Simply knowing where commands can be found is only half the battle. As is pointed out numerous times in the text creating useful and effective models of parts and assemblies requires advance planning and forethought. Moreover since error recovery is an important skill considerable time is spent exploring the created models. In fact some errors are intentionally induced so that users will become comfortable with the debugging phase of model creation. At the end of each lesson is a short quiz reviewing the new topics covered in that chapter. Following the quiz are several simple exercise parts that can be created using new commands taught in that lesson. In addition to these an ongoing project throughout the book is also included. This project consists of several parts that are introduced with the early lessons and finally assembled at the end. Who this book is for This book has been written specifically with students in mind. Typically students enter their first CAD course with a broad range of abilities both in spatial visualization and computer skills. The approach taken here is meant to allow accessibility to persons of all levels. These lessons therefore were written for new users with no previous experience with CAD although some familiarity with computers is assumed. | Creo Parametric 9. 0 Tutorial GBP 66.00 1

Engineering Graphics Principles with Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing Engineering Graphics Principles with Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing embodies a practical experience and introduces a new approach for learning the basic concepts and applications of engineering graphics and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing. The materials in the book and the accompanying digital download comply with the ASME Y14. 5M-1994 standard and use various instructional methods to heighten their effectiveness as a teaching and training tool. There are no prerequisites for using these materials. If you have had manual or CAD graphics or machine shop background in high school college or in an industrial application you may find some of the introductory materials repetitive and less challenging. However because all of the materials parallel the ASME Y14. 5M - 1994 standard there is a strong possibility that some portion of the information will be new and challenging to you. Engineering Graphics Principles with Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing is comprised of both a print book and digital content. A major portion of the instructional material is included on the digital download. The digital materials include exercises and self-evaluation materials. More than anything else these materials deal with modeling and defining part geometry on mechanical components and assemblies. Everything in the materials point to the importance of appropriate specification and control of part geometry including: dimensioning tolerancing and verification of geometric characteristics and relationships. The book begins with an abbreviated overview of the historical significance of graphics as a means of conveying and documenting design iterations and modeled configurations. However it stops short of philosophizing on the design process and cycles of design. Four specific modules have been designed to assist you in the introduction and/or review of basic concepts related to elements of view selection orientation projection and standards for defining geometry.
