Development of the parametric vane design system based on solidworks

In this paper, the method of developing parametric design system bas ed upon Solidworks with VB and Microsoft Access has been studied. The developmen t strategy and implement method of the parametric vane design system based on So lidworks have been put forward. The parametric vane design system has been devel oped, and the parametric solid model of vane can be established rapidly with thi s system. The design period of vane was shortened, the design efficiency was hei ghtened, and the design quantity was improved obviously. The system structure, d evelopment procedure and some program codes were presented in the paper. The met hod presented in this paper has reference value to developing the parametric des ign system of complex products.
