“…However, at least two iterations will always be performed. The process of creating a 3D model of the arm, preparation and performance of strength analysis, and subsequent comparison of the achieved results with the required results, can be automated using the API of CAD system SolidWorks [19], [20].…”

“…Further reduction of design time can be achieved by automating this process. One possible way to do so is to use the application programming interface (API), which is often part of many CAD systems [19], [20]. In this case, the SolidWorks CAD system is used, with the help of which it is possible not only to create and subsequently analyze selected parts of the proposed equipment but also to perform kinematic and dynamic analyses, the results of which are used in strength analyses.…”

<p>The design of the arms of industrial robots and manipulators is a demanding process both in ter ms of expertise and in terms of the time required. For these reasons, algorithms have been created, with the help of which it is possible to design cross - sections of individual arms of robots and manipulators not only from the point of view of maximum allo wed deflection but also from the point of view of minimizing cross - sectional dimensions or minimizing the weight of arms. These algorithms were subsequently used in the development of the software tool RobotArmDesign, with the help of which it is possible to simplify and shorten the arm design process significantly. This tool also has a connection to the SolidWorks CAD system and its simulation tools through its API interface, making it possible to refine robot arms designs while maintaining significantly s horter design times than would be the case with commonly used procedures. This tool's capabilities were demonstrated in the design of a robot arm with an angular structure and five degrees of freedom.</p>

Object customization in Computer Aided Design (CAD) is a method used to modify the sketch parameters and change the model geometries. This method is one of important features in part modelling which empowered CAD user to simply modify their product. The conventional method of modifying CAD model is usually relied on the manual editing. This paper outlines a development of program than can be integrated in CAD/CAM system for real time object customization. It uses Visual Basic (VB) programming with custom Graphical User Interface (GUI) generated in NX10 (CAD/CAM software) interface. The main contribution of this research is a tool for real time object customization that capable to assist the modification of 3D model. In order to develop the tool, 3D model modification instructions are translated into programming codes by using Journaling tools in NX interface. Editable parameters are identified based on the model shapes. The related codes are reconstructed, modified and linked to the functional GUI. This allows user to simply modify the model shapes in real time with minimum process steps. The performance of the method is evaluated in terms of the reduction of process steps and time in modifying the 3D model in CAD system. All the findings and details of approach are presented.
