Research on Application of 3D Parametric Software for Design and Shaping of Bus Frame Structure

Abstract:

The bus frame structure is mainly subject to the complex loads that affect the vehicle during operation, so the design of frame structure is always a key issue in the design, consuming a lot of time and effort. To enhance the flexibility of the design and calculation process, minimize the changes in design of the same type of bus, enhance the level of standardization and mass production of the product, the using of 3D parametric software to carry out designing the bus frame structure has become an indispensable trend in the development of automotive manufacturing technology. This article presents the results of research on the features of the geometric model establishment of Solidworks software as well as the interactive ability, data access between Solidworks and Excel software. Based on the features of the software and on the basis of the analysis of the design process, the structural features of the bus frame, the method of rapid shaping is set up. The application of rapid shaping by using Solidworks and Excel software to increase productivity, reduce time, effort and budget for frame structure design process of bus.
