This demonstration was designed to quickly and easily show a very high-level view of the main capabilities of Pro/ENGINEER, it will give clients an introduction to PTC’s parametric, integrated 3D CAD/CAM/CAE solution. The demonstration contains six sections: Introduction, Part Modeling, Assembly Modeling, Mechanical Analysis, Rendering and the No Compromise story of Pro/ENGINEER. The goal is to make sure clients understand Pro/ENGINEER is easy to use, contains powerful capabilities, is connected to people, processes and systems and most importantly is fast and affordable.

This demonstration is an introductory presentation of the capabilities of Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire. The demo, targeted at potential users who are currently using 2D CAD products, shows the power of Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 3.0 and that it is simple and intuitive to learn.

This presentation shows you the integrated digital rights management for CAD files in Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 4.0 with the Adobe LiveCycle Server.

This demonstration shows you Pro/ENGINEER Manikin, the industry’s first ISO standards-based solution, which provides comprehensive capabilities to simulate and communicate human-product interactions for a global population. The demo covers three main topics: Pro/ENGINEER Manikin Lite, Manikin Extension and Manikin Analysis Extension.

Accelerate your Electro-Mechanical Product Design Process! This webcast replay begins with a presentation of the new Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 4.0 ECAD-MCAD Collaboration capability by PTC's Product Marketing followed by a demonstration of the capability by PTC's Product Expert.

This demonstration of PTC's Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire ECX module shows an example of how mechanical engineers may works with electrical design data and vice versa to accelerate the electro-mechanical design process.

This is a Pro/ENGINEER Large Assembly Management demonstration. A product expert takes you through the simple process of utilizing the powerful Large Assembly Management capabilities in Pro/ENGINEER and the benefits inherent to parametric, associative models created in Pro/ENGINEER.

This video demonstration shows the basic functionality of the Pro/ENGINEER Foundation XE Package using the Ingersoll Rand Bobcat S185 Skid Steer Loader. The demo shows basic and advanced part modeling, assembly design with an integrated mechanism, collision detection, part and assembly drawings, and output to PDF.

The Pro/ENGINEER Piping Design demonstration, built using a compressor example, shows how to automate a time consuming, error-prone process via Pro/ENGINEER's ability to extract logic from schematics. And with its complete, associative documentation and interface to CNC bending machines, Pro/ENGINEER Piping Design reduces scrap and rework.

In this example we determine how to assemble a CDROM drive into a laptop without damaging the connecting pins while still maintaining a good connection. To do this, we use Pro/ENGINEER’s Tolerance Analysis Extension to perform a tolerance study directly on the Pro/ENGINEER model examining the gap between the CDROM pins and the connection point on the laptop. The results from this tolerance study enable us to assign tolerance values to our design's dimensions ensuring proper assembly of the CDROM drive.

The Routed Systems Designer (RSD) and Cabling Design Demonstration, built using a wiper harness example, shows how to create intelligent, hierarchal, block, circuit and wiring-interconnect Diagrams, share intelligent electrical info to the 3D design via XML, route wires and cables with ease, automatically generate bill of materials, cut lengths and wirelist from/to info; create a flatten manufacturing harness and installation drawings, and make changes to design to optimize overall performance.

This is a Pro/ENGINEER Sheet Metal demonstration. A product expert takes you through the simple process of utilizing the powerful Sheet Metal capabilities in Pro/ENGINEER and the benefits inherent to parametric, associative models created in Pro/ENGINEER.
