Charge weight is an important consideration when calculating for the blasting crater. The main parameters affecting the blasting crater are the rock type, minimum amount of chemicals consumed, and resistance lines. Although only a few parameters influence the blasting crater, calculating and speadsheeting require a large amount of work and furnish results that are not intuitive. Moreover, the calculation of blasting crater parameters takes time. The current study calculated the parameters using Visual Basic to illustrate a fast spreadsheeting and mapping method using Computer-Aided Design, the design for the charge until the supporting role.

A method for autogeneration/draw of valid arrays and contracted graphs by cad is studied in this paper. First, the concepts and relative new criteria of arrays and contracted graphs (CGs) are explained for the representation/generation of the CGs and the identification of the isomorphic/invalid CGs using the arrays. Second, a software is created in Visual Basic for automatically generating the arrays of the CGs with pentagonal links, identifying the isomorphic/invalid arrays, generating the valid arrays, and automatically drawing their CGs. Third, the interface of the software and the main functions of the compiled programs are explained. Finally, some examples are given to illustrate this software and method.

Conventional design of jigs and fixtures has become unsuitable given the requirements of modern technology and complexity and diversity in the production with the rapid update of products. Computer-aided design (CAD) of jigs and fixtures is an effective solution in this direction. The current paper focuses on a computer-aided design of the traditional jigs and fixtures and developed a system containing tailor-made software, created using the Visual Basic programming language and installed on it the viewer screen to show the part. The developed system has been built by connecting Visual Basic programming language to the SolidWorks software on which the part is drawn and saved as STEP AP-203 file format, and the system reads and extracts the data from the STEP AP-203 file. Heuristic rules of feature recognition are pre-prepared for checking the extracted geometric data and deciding which data shape will represent the machining feature; then, the system provides the optimum design of the traditional jigs and fixtures for a group of hollow cylindrical parts that contain a group of cross-holes on the cylinder body, whether perpendicular or offset from the cylinder’s axis, (inclined or inclined offset, or blind or through, by applying pre-prepared heuristic rules for the design of traditional jigs and fixtures.

The rising demand for high quality castings necessitates that vast amount of manufacturing knowledge be incorporated in manufacturing system like computer aided design and manufacturing. Rotary furnace fabrication involves several critical parameters like, capacity of furnace, flame length, length of furnace due to the available installation space and determination of type and thickness of materials needed. A complex relationship exists between these fabrication parameters and hence there is a need to develop models which can capture this complex interrelationship and enable fast computation. In this project a computer model is designed and run, taking a 5kg rotary furnace calculated parameters as prototype to facilitate the production of a rotary furnace, using Microsoft visual basic language embedded with the necessary and required design and analysis formulae needed to fabricate different sizes of rotary furnaces.

All kinds of mining enterprises prefer to use computer-aided design (CAD) in drawing figures of mining reserves. CAD is convenient to operate and ensures the creation of intuitive and beautiful figures. However, CAD causes data error easily due to human intervention. Moreover, CAD wastes time and is prone to omit records. To reduce the incidence of such errors, the current paper examines the transformation of CAD-drawn reserves’ figures and databases into “block” form. This paper also aims to realize the conversion of figure blocks and databases using Visual Basic (VB) in CAD and database applications. To achieve this result, the circle and text are first extracted from CAD form. Then, a series of changes is implemented. Lastly, figure blocks are endowed with new properties. Using this approach can quickly transform figure elements into block properties, achieving good application effects.

to realize computer-aided design and 3D modeling of the classical V-belt drive, a classical V-belt drive design and 3D modeling system was developed with the SolidWorks platform and using Visual Basic language. This system is composed of the design subsystem and the 3D modeling subsystem, which enabled the classical V-belt design process to be automatic and the fast 3D modeling of parts and assemblies. The application of design and 3D modeling for the classical V-belt drive system on the pot-seedling hole-forming machine has shown that this system can ensure accurate design results and shorten the design period.
