NX8.5: for Engineers & Designers

NX 8.5 for Engineers and Designers textbook introduces the readers to NX 8.5, the world’s leading parametric solid modeling package. In this textbook, the author emphasizes on the solid modeling techniques that improve the productivity and efficiency of the users. Also, the chapters are structured in a pedagogical sequence that makes this textbook very effective in learning the features and capabilities of the software.The salient features of this textbook are as follows:

• • • Comprehensive Approach: This textbook consists of 15

• • • Tutorial Approach: The author has adopted the tutorial pointof-

  view and learn-by-doing approach throughout the textbook.This approach guides the users through the process of creatingthe models in the tutorials.

• • • Real-World Projects as Tutorials: The author has used about

  60 real-world mechanical engineering projects as tutorials inthis book. This enables the readers to relate the tutorials in thebook to the real-world models in the mechanical engineeringindustry. In addition, there are about 30 exercises that are baseson the real-world mechanical engineering projects.

• • • Tips and Notes: Additional information is provided to the users
