This book takes an original approach to engineering design communication by combining traditional engineering graphical communication with design modeling, and incorporating the assistance of a CAD tool. Through the use of practical examples and a straightforward writing style, Engineering Design Communication and Modeling Using Unigraphics NX provides readers with a basic knowledge of traditional engineering graphical communication and design modeling. The subsequent introduction of the CAD system enhances this knowledge, providing readers with a solid understanding of how engineering design communication is accomplished. Neutral language that is not CAD system-specific is used throughout, making this an ideal resource for readers of all backgrounds. Key Features Introduces a CAD system, offering readers an enhanced learning process of engineering graphical communication Basic mechanical design knowledge is integrated into the CAD learning process for overall knowledge Explains engineering applications of modeling features in the design so readers know where these features are used while modeling Table Of Contents Preface Introduction Fundamentals of Engineering Graphics Dimensioning and Tolerancing Problem Solving in Engineering Design Projects Base Design Features Basic Functional Element Features Feature Datum References Design Modeling From 2D Sketches Additional Modeling Features Advanced Design Modeling Acquiring Model Information Machine Assembly Design Modeling Engineering Working Drawings Appendix
