"This course is designed for new users who want to become proficient with Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 4.0 as quickly as possible. You will focus on learning core-modeling skills in this comprehensive, hands-on course. Topics include sketching, part modeling, assemblies, drawings, and basic model management techniques. The course also includes a comprehensive design project that enables you to practice your new skills by creating realistic parts, assemblies, and drawings. At the end of each module, you will find a set of review questions to reinforce critical topics from that module. Your instructor will discuss these with the class. At the end of the course, you will find a course assessment in Pro/FICIENCY intended to evaluate your understanding of the course as a whole. After completing the course you will be well prepared to work effectively on product design projects using Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire."

In this course, you will learn how to utilize many of the enhancements to core functionality in Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 4.0. This course is intended as an update directly from Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 2.0 to Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 4.0, so some of the enhancements covered in this course were introduced in the Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 3.0 release. You will become familiar with enhancements to Part mode, including embedded datum creation, and warp and partial shell features. You will learn new methods for creating features such as swept blends, and new methods for placing user defined features. You review new capabilities for feature manipulation, such as enhanced patterning capabilities. You will become familiar with the enhancements to Sketcher, such as how to copy and paste items in sketcher and how to insert predefined shapes such as polygons and common engineering sections, such as I-beams. You will also learn how to reference intent objects and replace sketcher references.

Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 2.0 enables you to create complex assemblies using a top-down design process. In this course you will learn how to use Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 2.0 to create and manage complex assemblies using top-down design techniques. In the top-down design process, you start an assembly design by creating a layout. The layout contains specifications and parameters that are used to control the entire assembly design. Then you create a preliminary assembly structure. This structure contains the components and their hierarchy within the assembly. Next, you use skeletons to define critical component dimensions and mounting locations, space requirements, and the motion between the assembly components. Finally, you create component geometry by referencing the skeletons and sharing design information within the assembly. In addition, you will also learn how to reduce file size and regeneration time in complex assemblies by using simplified representations. Simplified representations enable you to exclude components that are unnecessary to the current design task, thereby reducing geometry detail and improving system response times.After completing this advanced course you will be well prepared to work efficiently with large, complex product designs using Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 2.0. At the end of each day, you use the Pro/FICIENCY skills assessments to reinforce your understanding of the course topics. Your instructor utilizes the results from the anonymous skills assessments as the basis for daily review sessions.
