The parameterized models,which allow the rapid generation of a new part with other dimensions /shape, can be obtained by associating variable parameters to the dimensionsor to the shape of a part. The methodology was exemplifiedon a flange type part. The model was design using Autodesk Inventorsoftware and the introduction of the values for the parameters wasmade in two variants: directly from the Parameters dialog box of theCAD software and from MS Excel file. %K CAD %K parametrical design %K technological family %U http://www.anale-ing.uem.ro/2008/2008_a16.pdf
