Pro/ENGINEER Tutorial Wildfire 4.0 and MultiMedia CD
The eleven lessons in this tutorial introduce students to Pro/ENGINEER's Wildfire 4.0 design capabilities The tutorial covers the major concepts and frequently used commands required to advance from a novice to an intermediate user level. Major topics include part and assembly creation, and creation of engineering drawings. Also illustrated are the major functions that make Pro/ENGINEER a parametric solid modeler. Although the commands are presented in a click-by-click manner, an effort has been made, in addition to showing/illustrating the command usage, to explain why certain commands are being used and the relation of feature selection and construction to the overall part design philosophy. Moreover, since error recovery is an important skill, considerable time is spent exploring the created models (in fact, intentionally inducing some errors), so that users will become comfortable with the debugging phase of model creation. At the end of each lesson is a short quiz reviewing the new topics covered in that chapter. Each lesson concludes with a number of simple exercise parts that can be created using new commands taught in that lesson. In addition to these a project is also included that consists of a number of parts that are introduced with the early lessons and finally assembled at the end. The tutorials in this textbook cover the following topics: Introduction to the program and its operation: - The features used in part creation
- Modeling utilities
- Creating engineering drawings
- Creating assemblies and assembly drawings

Jumping Fire: A Smokejumper's Memoir of Fighting Wildfire
Fighting fires since 1965, veteran smokejumper Murry Taylor finally retired from his legendary career after last summer-the worst fire season in more than fifty years. After three decades of parachuting out of planes and battling blazes in the vast, rugged wilderness of Alaska and the West, Taylor recounts in Jumping Fire, with passion and honesty, stories of man versus nature at its most furious and unforgiving. He shares what it's like to hear the deafening roar, to smell the acrid burn, to feel the intense heat, to breathe the thick fumes, and to finally run for your life with exploding flames two hundred feet high and a mile wide licking at your heels. Written with a keen eye for detail and a talent for storytelling, " Jumping Fire is a tale of love and loss, life and death, and sheer hard work, set in an unforgiving and unforgettable landscape, that's second only to Norman Maclean's classic Young Men and Fire" ( Publishers Weekly)..

Wild Fire
Welcome to the Custer Hill Club--an informal men's club set in a luxurious Adirondack hunting lodge whose members include some of America's most powerful business leaders, military men, and government officials. Ostensibly, the club is a place to gather with old friends, hunt, eat, drink, and talk off-the-record about war, life, death, sex and politics. But one Fall weekend, the Executive Board of the Custer Hill Club gathers to talk about the tragedy of 9/11 and what America must do to retaliate. Their plan is finalized and set into motion. That same weekend, a member of the Federal Anti-Terrorist Task Force is reported missing. His body is soon discovered in the woods near the Custer Hill Club's game reserve. The death appears to be a hunting accident, and that's how the local police first report it, but Detective John Corey has his doubts. As he digs deeper, he begins to unravel a plot involving the Custer Hill Club, a top-secret plan known only by its code name: Wild Fire. Racing against the clock, Detective Corey and his wife, FBI agent Kate Mayfield, find they are the only people in a position to stop the button from being pushed and chaos from being unleashed. .

The purpose of this tutorial is to introduce users to some of the more advanced features, commands, and functions in Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 4.0. This book is suitable for users who understand the features of Pro/ENGINEER covered in Roger Toogood's Pro/ENGINEER Tutorial. The style and approach of the previous tutorial have been maintained. Each lesson concentrates on a few of the major topics and the text attempts to explain the Why's of the commands in addition to a concise step-by-step description of new command sequences. The material covered in this tutorial represents an overview of what is felt to be commonly used and important functions. These include customization of the working environment, advanced feature creation (sweeps, round sets, draft and tweaks, UDF's, patterns and family tables), layers, Pro/PROGRAM, and advanced drawing and assembly functions. Pro/ENGINEER Advanced Tutorial consists of eight lessons. A continuing theme throughout the lessons is the creation of parts for a medium-sized modeling project. The project consists of a small three-wheeled utility cart. Project parts are given at the end of each lesson that utilize functions presented earlier in that lesson . Final assembly is performed in the last lesson. Table of Contents 1. The Pro/E Interface and Customization 2. Helical and Variable Section Sweeps 3. Advanced Rounds and Tweaks 4. Patterns and Family Tables 5. User Defined Features (UDF's) 6. Pro/PROGRAM and Layers 7. Advanced Drawing Functions 8. Assemblies.
