Overview
This course is designed for experienced users who want to add motion to their products. You
will focus on learning advanced assembly skills in this comprehensive, hands-on course.
Topics include creating mechanism connections, configuring the mechanism model, creating
a kinematic analysis, and evaluating results. These topics will enable you to simulate the
range of motion between components in your moving assemblies, create gear connections
that simulate the gear ratios, create cam connections that enable Pro/ENGINEER parts to
push other parts they come into contact with, and check for collisions between moving
components. Furthermore, you learn about how you can use Design Animation to animate
your product, how you can use Mechanism Dynamics to simulate reaction forces between
components, and how you can use Behavioral Modeling to optimize your mechanism.
After completing this course, you will be prepared to work on mechanism designs using
Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire Mechanism Design.

Prerequisites 
Introduction to Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire or equivalent experience.

Audience
This course is intended for product designers. People in related roles will also benefit from
