Feature Based

Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 3.0 models are constructed using a series of features.  Each feature builds upon the previous feature, creating the model one feature at a time.  Individually each feature can be simple, but collectively can form complex parts and assemblies.

In the following figure, we have a connecting rod in the various stages of its creation:

1. An Extrude feature forms the overall shape and size of the model.
2. Additional Extrude features created at the top and bottom of the model.
3. Hole features created at the top and bottom of the model.
4. Round features created at the top and bottom of the model.
