| Autodesk Inventor 2008 Courses |
Overview
Autodesk Inventor is the 3D parametric solid modeling package produced by U.S.-based software company Autodesk. Introduced in 1999, many years after all these other systems, it was designed to enable personal computers, to build, model and test, extensive/complex assemblies or models like most other CAD systems.
Unlike AutoCAD, Inventor is based on newer, more advanced parametric modeling techniques. Users begin by designing parts. These parts can then be combined into assemblies. Starting with Version 10, a rendering and animation environment called Inventor Studio based on the Mental Ray rendering engine.
The crucial building blocks of Inventor are parts. They are made by defining features, which are based on sketches. The best aspect of this design is that all of the sketches and features can be edited later, without having to redo the entire part. As the final part of the process, parts are then connected to make assemblies. Assemblies can consist of both parts and other assemblies. |

SolidWORKS 2007Courses
Overview
SolidWorks is a 3D Computer-Aided Design (CAD) program that runs on Microsoft Windows platforms, developed by SolidWorks Corporation, a subsidiary of Dassault Systèmes, S. A. It was introduced in 1993 by newly-founded SolidWorks Corporation to compete with similar products and is now part of the midrange CAD market. SolidWorks has become a worldwide industry leader in affordable 3D feature based parametric solid modeling software for mechanical design and engineering.
SolidWorks is taught in over 4,500 academic institutions, training nearly 1 million students each year.
The course is designed around a process or task based approach to training. Rather than focus on individual features and functions, a process-based training course emphasizes the process and procedures students will follow to complete a particular task. By utilizing case studies to illustrate these processes, students will learn the necessary commands, options and menus in the context of completing a design task.

Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 3.0 Courses
Overview
Pro/ENGINEER (commonly referred to as Pro/E) is a three dimensional Solid modeling CAD software created by Parametric Technology Corporation (PTC).It is the top choice of more than 30,000 leading manufacturers worldwide companies, who insist on having the best tools and products. (Source: Wikipedia).
Pro/Engineer is a mechanical engineering and design CAD tool capable of creating complex 3D models, assemblies, and 2D measured drawings; it does not support architectural or civil engineering practices. It originally caused a major change in the CAD industry when first released by introducing the concept of Parametric Modeling. Pro/ENGINEER outputs consist of solid model data for tooling and rapid prototyping, CNC manufacturing, and Finite Element Analysis (FEA). A product and its entire Bill of Materials (BOM) can be modeled accurately with fully associative engineering drawings, and revision control information. In 2002, a new revision of Pro/ENGINEER called Wildfire was released that dramatically changed the software's Graphical user interface to one that incorporated graphical icons and pull-down menus.
