Glossary:
1: Proe wildfire series version: refers to the version after proe2001, up to the version before Creo1.0, and also includes a series of versions of the proe wildfire series after Creo1.0 comes out, including 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0
2: prt parts: it is a part drawing drawn in the proe/creo modeling command. The reason why it is called prt is because the suffix of the file is called prt.
3: Sheet metal parts: When proe is modeling, when it starts to create a new file, there is an option, one is a solid body and the other is a sheet metal part.
If you choose an entity, as for whether it is a metal part, a silicone part, a plastic part, or a die-casting part, it depends on the density set by the drawing engineer, that is to say, after the part is drawn, the volume is certain. If you ask others, what kind of material is this material, only the structural engineer knows, or the project related personnel know. Before other people saw the bom, they didn't know what kind of material it was.
If you choose sheet metal, then it is a sheet metal part, which is formed by stamping metal molds.
