Visual Basic and SolidWorks Based Development of Design System for Trellis Screen Protective Device

Abstract:

[Purpose] To solve problems for lack of the design system for the trellis screen protective device, a general-purpose design system is required to perform structural design and make budget on materials required. [Method] Visual Basic and SolidWorks redevelopment technologies are used to develop this design system, where the user interface and dimensions of parts can be used to update 3D models for parts and assemblies; also, budget can be made on materials required for making the device. [Results] This system is proven to be able to greatly improve the design quality and efficiency. [Conclusion] This system has combined update of 3D models and material budget and will provide reference for other design systems in aspects of design flow and design methods.
