What's new in Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 4.0

Enhancements that optimize global design processes

Pro/ENGINEER® Wildfire® 4.0 design software offers enhancements that optimize four key global design processes and further improve personal and process productivity.

Accelerate your detailed design process
Create both simple and complex designs faster with new Auto Round™ capabilities, improved assembly performance, direct surface editing and automated 3D drawing annotations
Improve your design outsourcing process
Secure your valuable design data with new digital rights management capabilities
Enhance your verification and validation process
Analyze designs faster and easier with new tolerance analysis, improved meshing, support for nonlinear materials, better results analyses and smarter diagnostics
Optimize your manufacturing tooling and factory equipment design process
Simplify and automate the transformation of engineering designs into manufacturing processes with the easy to use, powerful process manager for toolpath definition, annotation features and other key capabilities in Pro/ENGINEER

Global Design Process Enhancements

New Auto Round
Save valuable time with automated rounding of even the most complex features
Improved Large Assembly Performance
Automated and optimized assembly file management reduces memory consumption
Enhanced 3D Drawings
Automatically display dimensions in 3D drawings which increases design information reuse and delivers production ready drawings. You can also publish and access saved 3D drawing views in ProductView
More Surface Editing
Optimize your designs with new capabilities for editing surfaces including multi-resolution editing and smoothing
Faster Surface Removal
Quickly remove round and hole geometry to prepare designs for mold making or simplify designs for analysis
Updated Import DataDoctor
New data repair capabilities and easy-to-use, modernized user interface dramatically improve your ability to reuse legacy and 3rd party data
New Feature Recognition Toolkit
Quickly convert imported geometries to features in your model
Improved Data Exchange
New and upgraded processors allow you to better leverage 3rd party CAD data including JT support, publish Pro/ENGINEER data in 3D PDFs and import exact product representations from ProductView
New Tolerance Analysis
Quickly analyze geometric tolerances and variances directly in the CAD model

New Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 4.0 Modules

	Pro/ENGINEER Tolerance Analysis Extension powered by CETOL Technology Pro/ENGINEER Tolerance Analysis Extension powered by CETOL Technology gives you the power to analyze geometric tolerance stack-ups and gaps. You can quickly analyze and document geometric tolerances directly on the CAD model. With Pro/ENGINEER you can improve your ability to design for manufacturing and easily streamline your detailed design and verification and validation processes.
	Pro/ENGINEER Rights Management Extension Protect your valuable intellectual property with the new, market leading digital rights management capabilities in Pro/ENGINEER. Powered by Adobe® LiveCycle® Rights Management ES, Pro/ENGINEER lets you secure access to your CAD data to help you improve your design and manufacturing outsourcing processes.
	Pro/ENGINEER Interface for JT Pro/ENGINEER Interface for JT enables you to easily import and export JT parts and assemblies to support multi-CAD design. Pro/ENGINEER Interface for JT translates structure, geometry and visualization information contained within JT files. Whether you need to leverage legacy data or 3rd party CAD data, this new Pro/ENGINEER module helps optimize your detailed design process.

Pro/ENGINEER and the Product Development System

Pro/ENGINEER is an integral part of the Product Development System (PDS). It enables manufacturers to create high-fidelity, digital product definitions and optimize key product development processes. Pro/ENGINEER provides a complete set of capabilities, including Solid Modeling, Surfacing, Rendering, Data Interoperability, Routed Systems Design, Simulation, Tolerance Analysis and NC and Tooling Design. Pro/ENGINEER was designed to work with the Product Development System's other industry leading solutions as a system, seamlessly connecting to Windchill®, ProductView™, Mathcad® and Arbortext®.
