Pro/mechanica Wildfire 2.0: Studies & Connections

This book has been written for a finite element analysis course given to industry designers and college Mechanical Engineering Students who want to perform finite element analysis using Pro/MECHANICA in integrated mode. It is assumed by the author that the reader has a basic knowledge of Pro/Engineer (minimum 200 hours) in order to be able to comprehend the modeling logic behind each exercise. In addition, it is strongly recommended to have a basic knowledge of Finite Element Theory in order to be able to successfully comprehend modeling features and results of the analyses. Going through these tutorials without taking a finite element analysis course may lead to some areas of finite element analysis and the software not being covered or understood adequately.
