Applications of Pro/Program in Parametrical Modeling of Mechanical Components

Based on parametric techniques, feature techniques, and feature-based parametric modeling techniques, the system of the parametric feature modeling techniques family and its modeling method were put forward to realize rapid and efficient modeling. The technical term of family table, the steps and characteristics of family table modeling were proposed firstly. Then, Pro/program and its application in the parametric modeling of mechanical products were discussed in detail, and a feature-based parametric prototype was developed by UDF. Finally, a running example of feature-prototype for spur gears was given to demonstrate the validity and efficiency of the feature-based parametric modeling techniques family.
