Description
Summary:In order to improve the efficiency of product design and shorten the design cycle of product, the research progress in recent years is introduced. The basics of variant design such as the entities of topology, the equation’s structure and the compression/decompression are analyzed. An algorithm, which can compress redundant parts, based on the conditions of algebraic equations completely is put forward. A variant design system of volumetric heat exchanger is designed by using VB and SolidWorks API (Application Programing Interface). The results show that the variant design system based on algebraic equations can be quickly and accurately modeled according to different process parameters, which can improve the efficiency of product design and shorten the design period.
