SHIBU.S.VARGHESE 4 PREFACE Nowadays we are depending more on computers due to their speed in data processing, visualization capabilities, data storing in documentation as well as numerical calculations etc. They have become an integral part of one daily life. They find applications in communication, entertainment, accounting, and scientific research and in production industries. In production industries, computers are used from designing, controlling manufacturing operations, etc, increasing efficiency and productivity. This particular field of application being called Precise Engineering Cycle which is further classified into Computer Aided Designing (CAD), Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) and Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM). In CAD, the design capability is dependent on the flexibility of the software, the hardware configuration as well as designer’s imagination and experience. There are of many application packages which all particularly strong in specific areas of CAD. But there are also ones that have good all- round capabilities like Pro/ENGINEER, CATIA, Solid Works etc. For the time being NX CAD has established itself as one of the most widely used, due to its advanced modeling capabilities, production of complex assemblies & easy user interface as well as stability of models and photo-realistic images. 5 ABOUT PRO-E Pro/ENGINEER is a parametric, integrated 3D CAD/CAM/CAE solution created by Parametric Technology Corporation (PTC). It was the first to market with parametric, feature-based, associative solid modeling software. The application runs on Microsoft Windows platform, and provides solid modeling, assembly modelling and drafting, finite element analysis, and NC and tooling functionality for mechanical engineers. Versions for UNIX systems were discontinued with the release of version 4.0 The Pro/ENGINEER name was changed to Creo Elements/Pro on October 28, 2010, coinciding with PTC’s announcement of Cero, a new design software application suite. Creo Elements/Pro will be discontinued after version 2 in favour of the Creo design suite. Pro-e advanced assembly enhances the productivity of distributed for design criteria management ,top- down assembly design, and assembly process planning .benefit include more flexible design, improved technical documentation 6 ,and accurate fabrication instructions. it also used in sheet metal design and real time rendering its advanced assembly with a host of specialized functions make designing and managing of even the most complex design much easier Summary of capabilities Like any software it is continually being developed to include new functionality. The details below aim to outline the scope of capabilities to give an overview rather than giving specific details on the individual functionality of the product. Creo Elements/Pro is a software application within the CAID/CAD/CAM/CAE category, along with other similar products currently on the market. Creo Elements/Pro is a parametric, feature-based modeling architecture incorporated into a single database philosophy with advanced rule-based design capabilities. It provides in-depth control of complex geometry, as exemplified by the trajpar parameter. The capabilities of the product can be split into the three main headings of Engineering Design, Analysis and Manufacturing. This data is then documented in a standard 2D production drawing or the 3D drawing standard ASME Y14.41- 2003. 7 Engineering Design Creo Elements/Pro offers a range of tools to enable the generation of a complete digital representation of the product being designed. In addition to the general geometry tools there is also the ability to generate geometry of other integrated design disciplines such as industrial and standard pipe work and complete wiring definitions. Tools are also available to support collaborative development. A number of concept design tools that provide up-front Industrial Design concepts can then be used in the downstream process of engineering the product. These range from conceptual Industrial design sketches, reverse engineering with point cloud data and comprehensive free-form surface tools. Screenshot captured from Creo 1.0 as an example of the FreeForm surfaces. Sub'D surfaces new in Creo 1.0 This geometry started as a square cube Analysis Creo Elements/Pro has numerous analysis tools available and covers thermal, static, dynamic and fatigue finite element analysis along with other tools all designed to help with the development of the product. These tools include human factors, manufacturing 8 tolerance, mould flow and design optimization. The design optimization can be used at a geometry level to obtain the optimum design dimensions and in conjunction with the finite element analysis. Manufacturing By using the fundamental abilities of the software with regards to the single data source principle, it provides a rich set of tools in the manufacturing environment in the form of tooling design and simulated CNC machining and output. Tooling options cover specialty tools for molding, die-casting and progressive tooling design. Pro-E helps in 2D Drafting, 3D modeling (Part modeling, Surface modeling, Detailing, Sheet metal modeling) with minimum time duration.With this we can easily do the parametric constraints solving, editing any feature at any time and update the changes without any difficulty.And with this we can create different views of models in detailing without disturbing the assembley 9 ABOUT THE PROECT PLUMMER BLOCK: To ensure effective sealing, plummer blocks are available with a variety of special sealing options and end covers. Benefits include a facility for easy mounting and dismounting of pre- assembled shafts. Plummer block housings can be used with high-capacity spherical roller bearings or self-aligning ball bearings. They are manufactured from high-strength cast iron as standard but are also available in cast steel or spheroidal graphite cast iron. The 10 housings have a re-lubrication facility and can be used with either oil or grease lubrication. Features 1. Split plummer block design allows for easy mounting and dismounting of pre-assembled shafts. 2. Sealing options - NSK offers a range of sealing options including oil seals, labyrinth seals, or heavy-duty taconite seals. 3. Case end covers are available. 4. Multi-relubrication points are provided to ensure relubrication of the bearing depending on orientation. 5. Housing are supplied with spacer rings in order to provide axial location. Those can be omitted for "free end" axial front. DRAFTED VIEWS 11 12
