Along with the coming of information times and economic globalization,many mechanical manufacture enterprises must have the ability of quick development and innovation if they want to survive and develop in the severe market competition. It has been proved that three-dimensional CAD technology plays a prominent part in accelerating product development, improving product quality and reducing cost. It also is an effective measure to strengthen the competence of product innovation and enhance the market competition.
The designs of the system were introduced in concision, are some critical technology of the process of developing software was given. The prrametic design of using SolidWorks and the process was expatiated. The three-dimensional parameterized design of simple part was realized, which simplifies the modeling process and raises the modeling efficiency, and it is good for companies to reduce the design period and to gain broad market acceptance.
The Solidworks API methods based on technology are introduced with emphasis on the introduction of SolidWorks API objects’attributes and the method. An actual example is provided at the end.
The target of the article is to develop a spring and gear part. The work that the author has done mainly includes several aspects as followed:
(1)The technology of redevelopment of SolidWorks,which includes the principle of redevelopment, the methods of redevelopment and the tools of redevelopment, has been deeply explored.
(2)The technology of mechanical three-dimensional solid modeling is entirely expounded, and is also establishes the design thought of feature-based parameterized design combined with the technology of feature modeling and parameterized design.
(3)Gear part have been designed with VB6.0. many aspects of system development are expounded in detail.
(4)The parameterized design program of parts has been set up with the methods of dimension drive and program drive, and it also realizes management of the design information with database technology.
The target of designing this system is to deeply study application of the redevelopment technology of SolidWorks.
