基于VB和SolidWorks API的零部件参数化设计方法

Parameterized Design Method through VB and SolidWorks API

通过二次开发技术可实现三维CAD软件对不同行业和标准(国标、行标、厂标等)的适应匹配,以及软件的功能扩展和专业化模块定制等。论文介绍了采用宿主程序法进行Solid Works二次开发的技术,开发了气体冷却器标准化设计功能模块,并以用户插件的方式嵌入了Solid Works主程序界面中,如同Solid Works自带功能。该技术可以帮助用户建立具有自己专业知识、流程规范和数据积累的专有设计功能模块,并无缝集成到Solid Works程序中,提高设计生产力和竞争力。

Secondary development technology can help realize adaptation of 3D CAD softwares to Chinas national standards i. e. GB,industrial or manufactures standards,as well as functionality extension and development of professional module. This paper elaborates the secondary develoqment of Solid Works through the host-add-in method. The standardized design module of gas cooler is developed,and is embedded into the Solid Works as a functional add-in, just like other functions owned by Solid Works itself. The technology can help develop custom design modules, which contain professional knowledge, design process rules and user data. Also, such modules can be integrated into Solid Works seamlessly, improving the design productivity and competiveness.
