CAD programming: Spatial modeling of a column apparatus in the Autodesk Inventor environment
The tutorial describes in detail the creation of an external subsystem for Autodesk Inventor in the high-level language C# Microsoft Visual Studio of the column apparatus. Such issues as working in the Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 programming environment, connecting the library of functions of the Autodesk Inventor API to an external user subsystem, spatial solid-state modeling of elements of a column apparatus, saving constructed objects, assembling the apparatus from stored modules by the interface method of surfaces are considered. Meets the requirements of the federal state educational standards of higher education of the latest generation. For students of higher educational institutions studying in the direction of "Computer Science and computer engineering", in preparation for laboratory work and the exam. It can be used by students of other specialties when studying the courses "Fundamentals of Computer Science", "High-level programming language" and "3D modeling of machines and apparatuses". It may be useful for programmers engaged in spatial modeling of objects.
