Creo Parametric 9.0 Tutorial

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

Programming and Engineering Computing with MATLAB 2021

Programming and Engineering Computing with MATLAB 2021

This book is designed for undergraduate students completely new to programming with MATLAB. Case studies and examples are used extensively throughout this book and are at the core of what makes this book so unique. The author believes that the best way to learn MATLAB is to study programs written by experienced programmers and that the quality of these example programs determines the quality of the book. The examples in this book are carefully designed to teach you MATLAB programming as well as to inspire within you your own problem solving potential. Most of the examples used in this book are designed to solve a whole class of problems rather than a single specific problem. A learn by doing teaching approach is used all through the book. You are guided to tackle a problem using MATLAB commands first and then the commands are explained line by line. This process of learning through hands on experience is one of the most efficient and pain-free ways of learning MATLAB. This approach together with the extensive use of ordered textboxes figures and tables greatly reduces the size of the book while still providing you with a book that’s comprehensive and easy to follow. The first chapter of this book introduces the MATLAB programming environment and familiarizes you with MATLAB’s core functionality. Chapters two through nine discuss basic MATLAB functionalities in a progressive and comprehensive way. The chapters start out simple and build in complexity as you advance through the book. Chapters ten through thirteen cover advanced topics that are particularly useful in college programs. Each chapter consists of sections each covering a topic and providing one or more examples. Related MATLAB functions are organized at the end of a section. Additional exercise problems are provided at the end of chapters two through nine. Examples in each section are presented in a consistent way. An example is usually described first followed by a MATLAB script. Any resulting text and graphics output (and in some cases inputs) that are produced from running a script are presented and discussed. Finally the remainder of each section is devoted to explaining the purpose of the lines of the script. Who this book is for This book is developed mainly for undergraduate engineering students. It may be used in courses such as Computers in Engineering or others that use MATLAB as a software platform. It can also be used as a self-study book for learning MATLAB. College level engineering examples are used in this book. Background knowledge for these engineering examples is illustrated as thoroughly as possible. | Programming and Engineering Computing with MATLAB 2021

SOLIDWORKS CAM is a parametric feature-based machining simulation software offered as an add-in to SOLIDWORKS. It integrates design and manufacturing in one application connecting design and manufacturing teams through a common software tool that facilitates product design using 3D solid models. By carrying out machining simulation the machining process can be defined and verified early in the product design stage. Some if not all of the less desirable design features of part manufacturing can be detected and addressed while the product design is still being finalized. In addition machining-related problems can be detected and eliminated before mounting a stock on a CNC machine and manufacturing cost can be estimated using the machining time estimated in the machining simulation. This book is intentionally kept simple. It’s written to help you become familiar with the practical applications of conducting machining simulations in SOLIDWORKS CAM. This book provides you with the basic concepts and steps needed to use the software as well as a discussion of the G-codes generated. After completing this book you should have a clear understanding of how to use SOLIDWORKS CAM for machining simulations and should be able to apply this knowledge to carry out machining assignments on your own product designs. In order to provide you with a more comprehensive understanding of machining simulations the book discusses NC (numerical control) part programming and verification as well as introduces applications that involve bringing the G-code post processed by SOLIDWORKS CAM to a HAAS CNC mill and lathe to physically cut parts. This book points out important practical factors when transitioning from virtual to physical machining. Since the machining capabilities offered in the 2021 version of SOLIDWORKS CAM are somewhat limited this book introduces third-party CAM modules that are seamlessly integrated into SOLIDWORKS including CAMWorks HSMWorks and Mastercam for SOLIDWORKS. This book covers basic concepts frequently used commands and options required for you to advance from a novice to an intermediate level SOLIDWORKS CAM user. Basic concepts and commands introduced include extracting machinable features (such as 2. 5 axis features) selecting a machine and cutting tools defining machining parameters (such as feed rate spindle speed depth of cut and so on) generating and simulating toolpaths and post processing CL data to output G-code for support of physical machining.

Virtual machining is the use of simulation-based technology in particular computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software to aid engineers in defining simulating and visualizing machining operations for parts or assembly in a computer or virtual environment. By using virtual machining the machining process can be defined and verified early in the product design stage. Some if not all of the less desirable design features in the context of part manufacturing such as deep pockets holes or fillets of different sizes or cutting on multiple sides can be detected and addressed while the product design is still being finalized. In addition machining-related problems such as undesirable surface finish surface gouging and tool or tool holder colliding with stock or fixtures can be identified and eliminated before mounting a stock on a CNC machine at shop floor. In addition manufacturing cost which constitutes a significant portion of the product cost can be estimated using the machining time estimated in the virtual machining simulation. Virtual machining allows engineers to conduct machining process planning generate machining toolpaths visualize and simulate machining operations and estimate machining time. Moreover the toolpaths generated can be converted into NC codes to machine functional parts as well as die or mold for part production. In most cases the toolpath is generated in a so-called CL data format and then converted to G-codes using respective post processors. | Virtual Machining Using CAMWorks 2023 CAMWorks as a SOLIDWORKS Module
