 EXERCISE 19
Advanced Equations

Here is an example of how to use equations. The images below represent the same model,
but can easily be changed by double clicking on a dimension, and typing in a new value.
This normally would create rebuild errors because the rib stack would need to be adjusted
as well. Equations can be set up to automatically perform this task.

Objective: Using
equations create a
living hinge
package, which can
adapt to change
easily.

1. Sketch the following on the Front plane. Dimension in the order as show.

69
2. Creating Equations. Go to Tools/Relations. Click once on the desired
dimensions to have the names automatically insert into the relations editor. Hit
the verify icon on the right (Green check mark).

70
3. Youre your equation by changing the 2 dimension to 5. Change it back
after you verify worked.

71
4. Start a sketch on the side face, and draw the following. Note, use
Sketch/References to activate the tangent edge vertexes for reference of the
center of the revolve feature. Revolve.

72
5. Create a linear pattern. 16 instances at .200 spacing.

6. Create a new sketch; Draw the following with coincident relations on both
sides of the cylinder (Use Sketch/References to select vertexes first). Let it
become a driven dimension. Done.

73
7. Creating Equations. Go to Tools/Relations. Click once on the desired
dimensions to have the names automatically insert into the relations editor.
(Note: You will need to preselect the actual features on the model or from the feature tree to have the dimensions
appear, The .196 REF dimension needs to be activated by selecting the Sketch 3 from the feature tree.)

74
What are Equations (Relations) inside Pro Engineer?

They create mathematical relations between model

dimensions, using dimension names as variables. When
using equations in an assembly, one can set equations
between parts, between a part and a sub-assembly, with
mating dimensions, and so forth.

When deleting a feature or dimension that is used in an

equation, you have the option of deleting the equation
or not.

NOTE: Dimensions driven by equations cannot be

changed by editing the dimension value in the model.
8. Here is an index of functions.

75
9. Add the same equations on the left side of the model.

10. Ctrl select the pattern and sketches associated with the equation, Right mouse
click and select Group from the options. Mirror all, both sides.

file. It is very common that the file may have missing geometry or gaps and
may only be a collection of surfaces versus a water tight solid. Essentially in
order to make use of this (make a cavity/mold) it is imperative that it be knit
into a solid.

Industrial Design Project

1. Design an original coffee lid.

Part design for Thermoforming or Vacuum Forming

What is thermoforming?
Thermoforming is a manufacturing process for thermoplastic sheet or film. Specifically,
it is more of a converting process, where plastic sheet or film is converted into a formed,
finished part. The sheet or film is heated in an oven to its forming temperature, then
stretched into or onto a mold and cooled. Early generation thermoforming machines

103
usually incorporated cal-rod type heaters, similar to heating elements found in
conventional electric kitchen ovens. These are still used, but more modern equipment
frequently uses quartz heaters or radiant-panel heaters for more efficient sheet heating
and ease of zone control. Cast or machined aluminum is the most common mold material,
although epoxy, wood and structural foam are sometimes used for prototypes, samples,
and low volume production runs. Aluminum molds are normally water-cooled by a
cooling tower or chiller system for faster production capabilities. Thermoforming differs
from injection molding, blow molding, rotational molding, and other forms of processing
plastics, and is primarily used in the manufacture of disposable cups, containers, lids,
trays, blisters, clamshells, and other products. A thermoform machine can utilize vacuum
only, or vacuum combined with air pressure, in the forming process. It can be as small
and simple as a table-top sample former where small cut sheets of material are placed
into a clamp and heated and formed, or as large and complex as a complete inline
extrusion, thermoforming, trimming, granulating, and material handling system for
continuous high-speed production. Many thermoforming companies do not extrude their
own plastic sheet, but rather purchase it in roll-wound form for running on their forming
equipment. Others purchase plastic resin in bulk pellet form and extrude the sheet for use
on roll-fed or inline forming machines. (source:wiki)

Pro/E Administration

Finding adequate computer Hardware to run Pro/E can be difficult, this lesson looks at
the multiple aspects of selecting hardware as well as modifying settings inside Pro/E to
allow it to run efficiently and trouble free.

Selecting an Operating System (OS).

Windows XP Professional
Windows XP 64-Bit edition
Widows Vista
Windows 7
Windows 8

Virtual Memory Settings inside the OS. It may be a good idea to increase or adjust your
virtual memory setting. The norm would be x2 x3 your current amount of ram.

Example 2000 MB of Ram 4000 MB Virtual Ram. And keep the initial size the same as
the maximum size. It is said that this prevents write errors.

Multiprocessing
Most CPU manufacturers are beginning to deliver multiple core processors and even
multiple threads. This can be seen with the AMD Opteron which has six processing
cores, versus Intels Core i7 processor that has four cores with eight threads due to their
Hyper Threading technology.
Whats the difference between a core and a thread?
Threads are process pipelines that are generally used exclusively to conduct a process. A
core is an actual piece of hardware consisting of transistors and other processing
elements required to make a Central Processing Unit. In Intels case they developed a
CPU core that can manage two processing pipelines or threads for multitasking. The
secondary thread is not as fast as a sole core thread but can still enhance performance
to a significant level.
How can I tell how many cores or threads I have on my PC?

Hit CTRL+ALT+DEL
and select Task
Manager to open
this window. This
computer has two
operating
threads. Windows
Task Manager
doesnt specify if
they are actual
cores or threads.

116
Which one will run Pro/E fastest? You can find benchmarks at www.spec.org specifically
for Pro/E or you can look for the generic OpenGL benchmark results that usually use an
OpenGL video game.
How to look inside your Computer without opening it!
You can use CPU-Z to identify your computer hardware. Download it for free at:
http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php

CPU-Z identifies
what type of
Processor,
Motherboard,
and RAM your
system has
without even
opening the case.
Here it can also
identify how
many cores and
threads your CPU
has.

Question is: can Pro/E benefit from multiple cores? Currently one might find an average
of 10 25% performance increase. This is because Pro/E is not fully written to take
advantage of multithreaded processes.
The biggest benefit one might find is the ability to multitask while working with an FEA
analysis or Photorealistic rendering. This is a long process and you could actually open
up another window of Pro/E or Outlook and continue working while the analysis is
running with little slow down in performance.

117
Graphics Cards
Here are a few brands that are in the Professional Category and actually have specific
drivers that are written to run Pro/E at its best.
NVIDIA Quadro series (not NVS series)
Quadro FX 380 erp.$129 (erp- estimated retail price)
Quadro FX 580 erp.$199
Quadro FX 1800 erp.$499

ATI FirePro series (not FireMV series)

FirePro 3800 erp.$159
FirePro 5800 erp. $499
FirePro 8800
These cards are considerably more expensive that mainstream cards but the benefits of
experiencing less crashes or visual problems with Pro/E outweigh the cost.
If you are using Pro/E at work, DONT SKIMP! Buy a professional grade video card. For
