The Research on Modular Adaptable Design Platform Based on SolidWorks

Abstract:

This paper suggests a way to build a modular adaptable design platform integrating modular platform and parameterized platform based on SolidWorks. We can make adaptable design by reconfiguring, upgrading general modules and replacing special modules on the platform. This platform is built with the top-down method, taking the main frame of the waste detection equipment for an example. And it integrates a set of subsystems, such as product module library, module call, BOM generation, etc. This paper also gives the realization methods by Visual Basic 2008.
