Development of 3D Parameterized Design System for Turbine Compressor Impellers

Abstract

Aiming at the characteristics of turbine compressor’s impellers, such as complexity in surface, assembled structure and variety in parameter, the step-by-step design thought is put forward, which realizes the high efficiency and visualization of parameterized design through distributing design parameters evenly to several phases or interfaces. According to the demand of the enterprise, SolidWorks CAD Software was chosen as the three-dimensional CAD platform, SQL Server 7.0 was chosen as the database management system, and Visual C++ was chosen for the programming language of secondary developing. Then the parameterized design system for series turbine compressor impellers is developed, which realizes automatic creation of 3D models and 2D engineering drawings using template technique.
