Research on Automatic Design of Extendable TrussBased on CAD Software

Abstract:

This paper provides a method of automatic design for extendable truss based on CAD software. The method mainly consists of parametrical design, automatic assembly, interference checking and extraction of model properties. With Visual C + + as programming language, secondary development was done on automatic assembly and other related modules of CAD software, which can achieve parametrically automatic assembly, interference checking and automatically extracting properties of extendable truss model. Thus, this method can guide the design staff performing program design, improve the correctness and accuracy of design, shorten the design cycle of extendable truss and also has reference value on rapid design and development for other products.
