With this in mind, each lesson introduces a new set of commands and concepts, building on previous lessons. The basic premise of this book is that the more designs you create using Creo Parametric, the better you learn the software. This textbook contains a series of eleven tutorial style lessons designed to introduce beginning CAD users to Creo Parametric. This text takes a hands-on, exercise-intensive approach to all the important Parametric Modeling techniques and concepts.

This text covers Creo Parametric and the lessons proceed in a pedagogical fashion to guide you from constructing basic shapes to building intelligent solid models and creating multi-view drawings. This text is intended to be used as a training guide for any student or professional wanting to learn to use Creo Parametric. Direct modeling lets copy, move, split, replace, offset, push, and drag geometry in any way they need.The primary goal of Parametric Modeling with Creo Parametric 1.0 is to introduce the aspects of Solid Modeling and Parametric Modeling. Pro/ENGINEER (Creo 2.0 and higher) and SolidWorks (2012 and newer) offer direct modeling on top of existing feature-based parametric modeling. This tool provides a geometric-based modeling strategy, rather than a feature-based format so that designers can quickly define and edit geometry. So, developers created a tool known as direct modeling. For complex designs, capturing design intent can be a challenge. Plus, the designer must define the relationships between features.

Designers must often anticipate potential design changes and define features accordingly.

This tool lets designers modify the entire shape of their design at once, not just individual dimensions one at a time.īut there are some drawbacks with parametric modeling tools.

This tool was developed by Rhino, a software program that evolved from AutoCAD. Parametric modeling is a computer aided design (CAD) software design tool that saves time-it eliminates the need for a design engineer to constantly redraw a design every time one of the design’s dimensions change.
