uses UGS NX as the modeling tool and the chapters guide you from constructing basic solid models to building intelligent mechanical designs, creating multi-view drawings and assembly models. This text takes a hands-on, exercise-intensive approach to all the important Parametric Modeling techniques and concepts. This textbook contains a series of ten tutorial style lessons designed to introduce beginning CAD users to UGS NX. Each lesson introduces a new set of commands and concepts, building on previous lessons. Table of Contents 1. Introduction: GETTING STARTED 2. Parametric Modeling Fundamentals 3. Constructive Solid Geometry Concepts 4. Model History Tree 5. Parametric Constraints Fundamentals 6. Geometric Construction Tools 7. Parent/Child Relationships 8. Part Drawings and Associative Functionality 9. Datum Features and Auxiliary Views 10. Symmetrical Features in Designs 11. Advanced 3D Construction Tools 12. Assembly Modeling - Putting It All Together Index
