1. What is Pro-E???

• It is one of the most widely used CAD/CAM
  software in todays world
• This tool is provided by PTC and the website is
  www.ptc.com
• Pro-E runs on a Windows 95, Windows 2000, Windows
  NT or UNIX platform.

2. Introduction to Pro-E

• Earlier, engineering designs were constructed
  with 2D drawings.
• Now, engineering drawings are represented by
  mathematical solid models instead of as 2D
  drawings.

• Two main reasons for the move from 2D models
  to solid 3D models
• The solid model can be understood even by
  non-technical members of the team, such as those
  from marketing and sales department.
• The capabilities of solid modellers have been
  upgraded so that the model can represent not only
  the geometry of the part being designed, but also
  the intent of the designer.

3. Protrusions and Cuts

• A protrusion( or extrusion) is a part feature
  that adds material.
• Different geometries can be sketched by
  combining a variety
• of form options and attributes during
  creation of protrusion
• feature.

?Cuts are used to remove material from existing
solid features.

Protrusions.
A protrusion is always the first solid feature
created. This can be the base feature or the
first feature created after a base feature of
datum planes.
To create an extruded protrusion 1. Choose
Feature from the PART menu, and the choose Create
from the FEAT menu. 2. Choose Protrusion from
the SOLID menu. 3. Choose ExtrudegtSolidgtDonegt
from the SOLID options menu. 4. Pro/E displays
PROTRUSION Extrude dialog box, which lists The
elements needed for creating this type of
protrusion. 5. Pro/E displays ATTRIBUTES menu,
which lists the following Options
8

• One Side Creates the feature of one side of the
  sketching plane.
• (b) Both Sides Creates the feature on both sides
  of the sketching
• Plane.
• 6. Choose One side or Both Sidesgt Done from
  ATTRIBUTES menu.
• 7. Select the sketching plane.
• 8. Sketch the protrusion.

Cuts
To remove material from a part, we use the
following features. 1. Choose Feature from the
PART menu, and then choose Create From the FEAT
menu. 2. Choose Cut from the SOLID menu. 3.
Choose ExtrudegtSolidgtDone (SOLID OPTS
menu). 4. The appropriate dialog box is
displayed. 5. Choose One Side or Both Sidesgt
Done (ATTRIBUTES menu). 6. Select the sketching
plane on the part and the parts orientation. 7.
Accept the cut direction or flip the arrow. 8.
Determine the depth of the cut

4. Holes
Another variety of geometric construction which
is accomplished by Pro/E are holes. This is a
pick and place feature, because they are created
automatically from your input and placed
according to prompts by Pro/E. A hole can also be
created using a Cut, but it must be sketched.

• To create a straight hole, the following steps
  are done
• Choose Hole from SOLID menu.
• Pro/E displays HOLE OPTS menu. Choose Straightgt
  Done.
• Pro/E displays the Feature Creation dialog box
  and the PLACEMENT menu, which lists the options
  Linear, Radial, Coaxial etc. Choose one of the
  options, then Done.
• Select the placement plane.

5. Select the first reference (edge, surface,
axis or datum). 6. Enter the distance from the
first reference in the message area. 7. Select
the second reference. 8. Enter the distance from
the second reference in the message area. 9.
Pro/E displays SIDES menu. Choose One Side or
Both Sides, then Done. 10. Select the extent
to which the hole will be created. 11. Select OK
in the dialog box to create the hole.

5. Rounds
Round creates a fillet, or a round on a edge,
that is smooth transition with a circular profile
between two adjacent surfaces.
Following are three simple types of rounds. 1.
Edge-Surface rounds

2. Surface-Surface rounds
21
3. Edge Pair rounds
