Pro/ENGINEER: Methods of Top Down Design covers part and assembly functionality required to design models in a top down design environment. Top down design refers to the method of placing critical information in a high-level location and then communicating that information to the lower levels of the product structure. In this way, Pro/ENGINEER simulates a real design situation.

The first day of the course covers traditional top down design practices that are used by many companies around the world. The second day focuses on special cases that designers will encounter, and proposes solutions using the latest Pro/ENGINEER techniques.
