The Development Of Wear-Resisting Cast Ball Mould CAD Software

In this paper,pivotal technologies of development based on SolidWorks and VB6.0 are expatiated by the development of the wear-resisting cast ball mould.The parameterized design CAD system is developed,finally,this system is loaded to the environment of SolidWorks.In the meantime,the laws of temperature and stress distribution of wearable cast iron balls in the solidification process were investigated by using COSMOSWorks,and the result is fairly well which verified the validity of the CAD software.Shrink holes of cast balls were removed through improving on arts and crafts.The development of this CAD software provides a shortcut way for mold design of wear-resisting cast balls automatic production.The parameterized design is a whole process from the analyse of function to the creation of parameterized models. Parameterized design is the current of the technology of CAD, and also is a new technology appearing recently, so we are developing and perfecting it. Parameterized design comes from the hope of designer to CAD system, and that is to say that we can modify the plan of design so that it can meet project.FEA is the most prevalent numerical simulation technique,it can forecast many real-life state,exactly,and be the indispensable working procedure for most industry.The integration of parameterized design and FEA(CAD&CAE) inaugurates a high-efficiency,low-cost,high-quality way for products design and manufacture.This software has set up the Wear-Resisting Cast Ball Mould System based on two key techniques of parameterized design.The User can get Mould of countless dimensionand also can modify parameters by using FEA's result, in this way,the technology of CAD and CAE is integrated.After tasting times without number,this software works well,will become product gotoing market. The article can also be propitious to others who pursuing second development based on SolidWorks or other 3D softwares.
