Rapid Modeling of an Excavator Working Device Based on the Secondary Development of Pro/E

In order to shorten the design cycle of the excavator working device, we have proposed a rapid modeling method for the excavator working device which uses parameters. Based on the Pro/toolkit, which is secondary development tool of Pro/E4.0,and combined with Vs C++2005 programming software. It developed a flexible set of MFC visualization-friendly interfaces. Users can enter data in the visual interface according to their needs and it will generate a new part model quickly. So it improves the design quality, shortens the design cycle, and makes the cost lower significantly.
