Pro/E Wildfire 5.0: A Dynamic Upgrade

摘要

Pro /ENGINEER Wildfire 5.0, the latest version of FTC's flagship MCAD package, hits the market nearly two years after PTC acquired CoCreate, a direct-modeling software company. Though Pro/E remains a parametric modeler, the software makes parametric editing easier and faster by adopting push-pull modeling methods commonly found in direct modelers. Sophisticated patterning, mirroring, tab-creation, and rib-creation tools speed up modeling tasks for shelled plastic and sheet metal. Also returning in this release is the digital manikin, first introduced in November 2008 as part of release 4.0. The 3D human figure is designed to give you a way to study and visualize your machines and assemblies in proportion to an average person's physique.
