CONCEPT:

Pro-E is a sketch based ,feature based Parametric ,3D modeling software. Which is developed by the Parametric Technologies Corporation(PTC).Pro-E is having the Quality of Parent-child relation ship and Bi-directional Associativity.

SKETCH:

It is a Combination of 2D elements which is required to create the 3D models.

FEATURE:

It is a basic building block of a model . Features combine together to form a model

Feature Based Meaning:

The models are constructed using a series of easy to understand features rather than confusing mathematical shapes and entities.

PARAMETER:-

It is defined as a numeric value or any thing that defines a feature. For example, all dimensions in a sketch are parameters. The parameters can be modified at any time.

PARAMETRIC :We can change the shape and size of the Geometry whenever we required, without considering its original shape and size. Parametric nature enables you to easily capture design intent and make design changes .

Design Intent:

Designs are created for a purpose. Design intent is the intellectual arrangements of features and dimensions of a design. Design intent governs that relationship between features in a part and parts in assemblies. The intent of each component of a design is to work as a solution to the design problem.

Bi-DIRECTIONAL ASSOCIATIVITY:

Related to other module if we make any change in any of the module of the cad s/w , same change will reflect to us in other modules also this behaviour of the s/w is called Bi-directional Associativity.

PARENT CHILD RELATIONSHIP:Feat -1 Feat-2 Feat-3 Feat-4 Feat-5 Feat-1 is the Parent to the child Feat-2 ,Feat-2 is the parent to Feat-3 and so on Parent can stay without child but child cannot stay without Parent.

PARENT CHILD RELATIONSHIP:Part -1 Part-2 Part-3 Part-4 Part-5 Part-1 is the Parent to the child Feat-2 ,Part-2 is the parent to Feat-3 and so on Parent can stay without child but child cannot stay without Parent.
