Abstract

In this paper, an automated design system for ball-joint parts based on 3-D solid modeler is developed. Parametric modeling and API provided by 3-D solid modeler is engaged to develope the system which consists of four main modules such as : 3-D part modeling, parts assembling, 2-D drafting, and database interfacing modules. The automated design system is implemented on a computer, and shows us that it shorten the design processing time which have taken over 5 hours to only few minutes.
