An Introduction to using ModelCHECK with Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 2.0
Does your company have legacy Pro/E models that don't match your current company modeling standards (for example: layer names and status, parameters,...)? Would you like to bring these models up to the current company modeling standards easily? Do models end up saved in insert mode or with errors in relations,... and then checked-in to the database that way? Would you like to minimize the possibility of this happening? ModelCHECK may provide the solution to help ensure the quality of your companies Pro/E models. A live demo will be given on how to get started with ModelCHECK within the Pro/E Wildfire 2.0 environment.
Improving the Design and Manufacturing of your ProE parts using Moldflow
Moldflow analysis can be used to evaluate many injection molding problems during the entire design-to-manufacturing process. Depending on the part, there are several ways to use Pro/E geometry within Moldflow and a variety of Moldflow tools available. Examples of Moldflow capabilities and working methods will be highlighted. Emphasis will be placed on the Moldflow Plastics Advisers (MPA) product.
Creating Cast/Machined Parts
This presentation will demonstrate one method for merging a cast part into a machined part and creating all the machining cut features of the machined part.
Best Practice Group Discussion : Creating Cast Parts
This will be a group discussion with a focus on identifying the best practices group members use to develop cast parts. The pros and cons of each "best practice" will be discussed.
