2 Introduction to ProEngineer Wildfire 5.0 Powerful software used to create complex designs with great precision Feature-based, Associative, and Parametric nature of ProE. Dynamically edits the features. Calculates the mass properties directly from the created geometry Enables the real-time rendering of solid models Feature-based Nature Feature-based solid modeling tool Feature is defined as the smallest building block 3 Figure 1 Model displaying the counterbore holes Figure 2 Model after making the modifications (i.e 6 holes to 8 holes, and counterbore holes to simple holes) 4 Scion Engineering & Analytics 2

3 Bidirectional Associative Property Ability to ensure that if any modifications are made in a particular model in one mode, the corresponding modifications are also reflected in the same model in other modes, Figures 3 through 6.
