Development Of The Software For Gear Design And 3-Dimension Modeling Based On SolidWorks

The achievement and progress made in developing gear on the platform of 3-Dimension CAD were introduced briefly and parametric design and 3D modeling were discussed in detail. The integration of gear design and modeling is a precedent in software development.This paper played more emphasis on gear design and gear modeling. The portion of gear design was the leader of modeling and was made by Visual C++ 6.0. It deals with many diagrams and tables by uses Access 2002, a software for database management. Much data used in gear design were inputed in a database. This makes the calculating become simple and possible. The process of calculating becomes simply by using computer.Precise gear model was produced in the second part.it was developed by Visual C++6.0 based on 3D CAD software SolidWorks. This part of the software includes system interface modular, gear profile calculating modular, structure solid generating modular and gear profile generating modular. VC++ can communicate with SolidWorks by the technology of COM. Gear profile was drawn accurately according to involute equation and dedendum intermediate equation. By using geometry parameters offered by gear design gear solid can be modeled in SolidWorks.
