Pro/ENGINEER 2001 Now Available in VCC South and on All RCS UNIX Workstations

Version 2001 of Pro/ENGINEER, a powerful computer-aided engineering package used to create three-dimensional solid models of parts from two-dimensional sketches, is now available on the Windows 2000 systems in the VCC South lab, as well as on all RCS UNIX workstations.

New and enhanced features of Pro/ENGINEER 2001 include:

• Streamlined user experience -- Design with minimal commands and mouse travel, automatic design change detection, and the creation of independent model variants for downstream processes, without compromising associativity.

• Breakthrough technology for innovation through interactive surfacing and optimization features

• Solution breadth through team data management, systems interconnect design, manufacturing, simulation, embedded design standards, and shipbuilding

Accessing Pro/ENGINEER 2001

To access the program on the Windows 2000 systems in VCC South lab, simply double-click on the proe2001 icon located on the desktop.

To access the new version of Pro/ENGINEER from an RCS UNIX workstation, enter the following command from a UNIX prompt:

	pro &

Alternatively, you may select the ProEngineer: Computer-Aided Design option from the RCS Applications menu.

Pro/ENGINEER Release 2001 is now the system default on all UNIX platforms. You will still be able to access the old version of Pro/ENGINEER, Version 200i, on these machines until June 2, 2002, by entering the command setup proengineer-old at a UNIX prompt before running the program.

Version 200i of Pro/ENGINEER will be removed from the system on Monday, June 3, 2002.

If you have any questions or problems using Pro/ENGINEER, please contact the consultants at the Academic & Research Computing (ARC) Help Desk locations in the VCC and CII 3111, call ext. 7777, or send electronic mail to consult@rpi.edu.
