For courses where SolidWorks is used. Basing its instruction on the design of a pizza cutter, this text walks you through techniques in modeling, assembly, and creation of working drawings moving from basic to more advanced design techniques. The text is heavily illustrated with screen captures and sample drawings and includes end-of-chapter modeling problems for further practice. - A progressive self-learning method is used to effectively teach the basics of SolidWorks as well as advanced solids modeling concepts, allows students to work through the book at their own pace with little need for formal instruction. - Each chapter begins with an overview and a list of objectives. - Special boxes describe advanced capabilities of SolidWorks or explain useful modeling or engineering concepts, gives students the options to explore alternative approaches or concepts. - Nearly all of SolidWorks capabilities and functions are explained and utilized, trains students to be proficient users of SolidWorks upon completion of the book.

Helps engineering professionals use the latest Pro/ENGINEER 2001 release to graphically communicate virtually any design idea. The book's start-to-finish coverage, high-resolution screen captures, practical tutorials work together to help readers master Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire rapidly and use it effectively in real-world environments. Coverage includes: getting acquainted with Pro/E's interface and capabilities; basic model construction; using the Sketcher; building models with multiple features; adding holes; adding and removing material; using fillets, rounds, and chamfers; patterns, reordering, references, and more. Building on these basics, readers will learn how to add tolerances, dimensions, and text; create sections; use Pro/E's Resolve and Blend options; and add surfaces, drafts, lips, or ears. The book's extensive new coverage includes a detailed introduction to using datum planes to integrate engineering graphics with model construction. The author concludes with detailed discussions of creating assembly files, working drawings, and bills of materials; transferring files, and analyzing models. For every engineering professional or student who wants to master Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire, one of the world's leading solutions for visual product design and engineering. Pro/ENGINEER is utilized by thousands of manufacturing firms and teams worldwide.

AutoCAD 2009 for Interior Design: A Pragmatic Approach to 3D Modeling provides discipline-specific (interior design) 3D modeling and methods of digital illustration using a tutorial-based approach that covers the latest AutoCAD features and commands. This book provides readers with the necessary experience and practice to produce and illustrate complex 3D interior components and furnished spaces in an amount of time that will allow additional studio projects to be completed in the course of one semester. It begins with basic concepts of 3D solid modeling. As the objects included in the chapter exercises increase in difficulty, so does the level of complexity of concepts and processes. This approach helps readers understand and construct complex composite solid models. A portion of the book includes a four-part chapter on working with the soft goods such as draperies and tablecloths produced with surface modeling techniques. The book also includes a chapter on teaching designers how to render an interior environment and a chapter exercise that teaches students to produce walk-through animations.
