Over the years, Creo has gone through various changes and improvements. Its release was considered to be one of the most notable milestones of the evolution of CAD. Creo was initially called Pro/engineering when it was released by PTC in 1987. This software caters to everything: product design, development, and manufacturing. These lessons, therefore, were written for new users with no previous experience with CAD, although some familiarity with computers is assumed.Also known as PTC Creo, Creo is a multipurpose 3D modeling software for CAD, CAM, CAE. The approach taken here is meant to allow accessibility to persons of all levels. Typically, students enter their first CAD course with a broad range of abilities both in spatial visualization and computer skills.
This book has been written specifically with students in mind.
This project consists of several parts that are introduced with the early lessons and finally assembled at the end. In addition to these an ongoing project throughout the book is also included. Following the quiz are several simple exercise parts that can be created using new commands taught in that lesson. At the end of each lesson is a short quiz reviewing the new topics covered in that chapter. In fact, some errors are intentionally induced so that users will become comfortable with the debugging phase of model creation. Moreover, since error recovery is an important skill, considerable time is spent exploring the created models. As is pointed out numerous times in the text, creating useful and effective models of parts and assemblies requires advance planning and forethought.
Simply knowing where commands can be found is only half the battle. 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. Also illustrated are the major functions that make Creo Parametric a parametric solid modeler. Major topics include part and assembly creation, and creation of engineering drawings. The tutorial covers the major concepts and frequently used commands required to advance from a novice to an intermediate user level. The eleven lessons in this tutorial introduce you to the design capabilities of Creo Parametric 7.0.
