Dear Subscriber:

June is already here and we hope that everyone had a great experience at this year's PTC/USER World Event in Florida. Now that you're back in the office, here's another jam-packed newsletter to lift your spirits. Windchill 9.0 is on the way, so, this month, get a sneak peak at what's new with the release. Plus, find out how Pro/ENGINEER is shaping the design process in the world of marine electronics.

Regards,

Chris C, Engineer, Asks: I have an assembly in Pro/ENGINEER. There is an outer body, sleeve and piston. In order to see the inside of the body and sleeve I made a cross section for the entire assembly. However, I don't want the piston to be sliced in the solid model. Is there an option for that? We answer.

Monitoring of aerospace vehicles requires rugged sensors that can measure a variety of phenomena. Learn how NASA engineers use Mathcad to model Surface Acoustic Wave sensors.

How do you juggle three projects at once and still beat your competitors to market? An Oklahoma marine electronics company uses Pro/ENGINEER for concurrent industrial design and mechanical engineering, cutting its design time in half.

This month, check out Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 3.0 hands on workshops for new users and don't miss our Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 3.0 CAD/CAM/CAE demonstrations.

Work with categorical variables through handy transformations in Mathcad, create a Mathcad animation of the normal curve, plus, derive the state space system in Mathcad 14.

Ever wondered how to use the Modify Dimension Dialog Box in Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 3.0? We'll show you how. And work with Mathcad temperature conversions and changes.
