PREFACE


Nowadays we are depending more on computers due to their speed in
data processing, visualization capabilities, data storing in documentation as
well as numerical calculations etc. They have become an integral part of one
daily life. They find applications in communication, entertainment,
accounting, and scientific research and in production industries.

In production industries, computers are used from designing,
controlling manufacturing operations, etc, increasing efficiency and
productivity. This particular field of application being called Precise
Engineering Cycle which is further classified into Computer Aided Designing
(CAD), Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) and Computer Aided
Manufacturing (CAM).

In CAD, the design capability is dependent on the flexibility of the
software, the hardware configuration as well as designers imagination and
experience. There are of many application packages which all particularly
strong in specific areas of CAD. But there are also ones that have good all-
round capabilities like Pro/ENGINEER, CATIA, Solid Works etc. For the
time being NX CAD has established itself as one of the most widely used, due
to its advanced modeling capabilities, production of complex assemblies &
easy user interface as well as stability of models and photo-realistic images.

ABOUT PRO-E

Pro/ENGINEER is a parametric, integrated 3D
CAD/CAM/CAE solution created by Parametric Technology
Corporation (PTC). It was the first to market with parametric,
feature-based, associative solid modeling software. The application
runs on Microsoft Windows platform, and provides solid
modeling, assembly modelling and drafting, finite element
analysis, and NC and tooling functionality for mechanical
engineers. Versions for UNIX systems were discontinued with the
release of version 4.0
The Pro/ENGINEER name was changed

to Creo
Elements/Pro on October 28, 2010, coinciding with PTCs
announcement of Cero, a new design software application suite.
Creo Elements/Pro will be discontinued after version 2 in favour of
the Creo design suite.
Pro-e advanced assembly enhances the
productivity of distributed for design criteria management ,top-
down assembly design, and assembly process planning .benefit
include more flexible design, improved technical documentation

6

,and accurate fabrication instructions. it also used in sheet metal
design and real time rendering its advanced assembly with a host
of specialized functions make designing and managing of even the
most complex design much easier
Summary of capabilities
Like any software it is continually being developed to include new
functionality. The details below aim to outline the scope of
capabilities to give an overview rather than giving specific details
on the individual functionality of the product.
Creo Elements/Pro is a software application within the
CAID/CAD/CAM/CAE category, along with other similar
products currently on the market.
Creo Elements/Pro is a parametric, feature-based modeling
architecture incorporated into a single database philosophy with
advanced rule-based design capabilities. It provides in-depth
control of complex geometry, as exemplified by the trajpar
parameter. The capabilities of the product can be split into the
three main headings of Engineering Design, Analysis and
Manufacturing. This data is then documented in a standard 2D
production drawing or the 3D drawing standard ASME Y14.41-
2003.

Engineering Design
Creo Elements/Pro offers a range of tools to enable the generation
of a complete digital representation of the product being designed.
In addition to the general geometry tools there is also the ability to
generate geometry of other integrated design disciplines such as
industrial and standard pipe work and complete wiring definitions.
Tools are also available to support collaborative development.
A number of concept design tools that provide up-front Industrial
Design concepts can then be used in the downstream process of
engineering the product. These range from conceptual Industrial
design sketches, reverse engineering with point cloud data and
comprehensive free-form surface tools.

surfaces. Sub'D surfaces new in Creo 1.0 This geometry started as
a square cube
Analysis
Creo Elements/Pro has numerous analysis tools available and
covers thermal, static, dynamic and fatigue finite element analysis
along with other tools all designed to help with the development of
the product. These tools include human factors, manufacturing

8

tolerance, mould flow and design optimization. The design
optimization can be used at a geometry level to obtain the optimum
design dimensions and in conjunction with the finite element
analysis.
Manufacturing
By using the fundamental abilities of the software with regards to
the single data source principle, it provides a rich set of tools in the
manufacturing environment in the form of tooling design and
simulated CNC machining and output.
Tooling options cover specialty tools for molding, die-casting and
progressive tooling design.
Pro-E helps in 2D Drafting, 3D modeling (Part modeling,
Surface modeling, Detailing, Sheet metal modeling) with minimum
time duration.With this we can easily do the parametric constraints
solving, editing any feature at any time and update the changes
without any difficulty.And with this we can create different views
of models in detailing without disturbing the assembley

ABOUT THE PROECT


PLUMMER BLOCK:


To ensure effective sealing, plummer blocks are available
with a variety of special sealing options and end covers. Benefits
include a facility for easy mounting and dismounting of pre-
assembled shafts.
Plummer block housings can be used with high-capacity spherical
roller bearings or self-aligning ball bearings. They are
manufactured from high-strength cast iron as standard but are also
available in cast steel or spheroidal graphite cast iron. The

10

housings have a re-lubrication facility and can be used with either
oil or grease lubrication.
Features
1. Split plummer block design allows for easy mounting and
dismounting of pre-assembled shafts.
2. Sealing options - NSK offers a range of sealing options
including oil seals, labyrinth seals, or heavy-duty taconite
seals.
3. Case end covers are available.
4. Multi-relubrication points are provided to ensure
relubrication of the bearing depending on orientation.
5. Housing are supplied with spacer rings in order to provide
axial location. Those can be omitted for "free end" axial
front.
