基于Inventor API的家具三维造型设计

国内外家具业趋向于设计出不同系列风格的家具,同时又要求提高设计效率.为了能够满足这方面的需要,通过研究Inventor API的功能,关联Inventor与数据库Excel,运用Inventor的二次开发工具Autodesk Inventor Wizards,基于VB.NET实现了对话框界面的通讯机制,即实现人机交互界面以达到程序自动建模的功效.从已有的家具模版中自动地生成新的家具,并能够替换整体家具的零部件,大大地提高了设计效率,实现并给出了程序示例.快速、自动地新建家具模型的结果表明,基于Inventor API的技术在家具三维造型设计二次开发中具有重要的意义.

3D modeling design for furniture based on inventor API

Furniture industries tend to design different styles of furniture, and at the same time, to ask to improve the efficiency of design. In order to realize that, the function of Inventor API is researched based on VB. NET, to link Inventor with Excel, and communication mechanism of dialog box is realized, In other words, the human-computer interactive interface is made to reach the efficacy of building models automatically, The system can build new furniture based on furniture stencils, and replace a part or an assembly of fumiRtre model, improving the design efficiency largely. Finally, part of program is provided. The result of fast building furniture models shows that the Inventor API is a universal method for secondary development for 3D modeling in furniture.
