Abstract

The Solidworks Simulation Application Programming Interface (API) functionality can be used to automate the creation of studies, The API provides a powerful platform for automation as well as productivity gains for any user who needs to build custom inputs or outputs to drive Simulation studies or has to work past user interface limitations. This paper uses solidworks API to automatic analyse the new energy vehicle chassis frame structure. The process of material selecting, loading, meshing and the base frame model analysing could be accomplished by VBA automatically. Comparing the results of each steps, structure of the base flame is optimized and lightweighting.
