Getting started in Pro/M

[Juju]

Hi everybody,


I am new on this forum andI find it very intersting. I am also a mechanical engineer student and from July I am doing a training period of 6 months for my final year of studies. I will work with FEA using Pro/M.


I have had a few classes about FEA and a few practical works using PAtran/Nastran. But I don t know at all Pro/M (Ijust know a bit aboutPro/E).


Does it take time to be able to use Pro/M ?


indeed, I would like to know more about pro/M before joining the company. Is it possible to learn alone ? I have got "Pro/m structure student tutorial", is it fine ? What are the others intersting books I should try to get ?


Is it valuable to read the tutorial without using Pro/M in the same time ? Is it possible to get a demo version of Pro/M to train a bit ?


I am really motivated but I don t know what to do to...


Please, i need your help.


thanks a lot

Juju,


You can buy the student verson of WF2 from journeyed.com. It includes pro/m. Im currently studying at University using Pro Mechanica.


I haven't used it in 2000i but, it is much easier to use than the 2001 version, which im assuming is similar ( if not the same as 2000i ).


You can also purchase Books and tutorials from the journeyed site..


Hope this helps,


Taz
