Most die channels for plastic extrusion are always designed in traditional method,which will have many problems or by virtue of experience or inefficient.In this paper,parameterized feature modeling is realized by the development of solidworks 2008 based on VB(Visual Basic),and API(Application Programming Interface)provided by solidworks.Finally integrate the second development application program into solidworks by the way of add-in to achieve an embedded design system.The application examples verified that the design system can achieve prearranged development goals,namely simplifying designing procedure,greatly reduce the design time and improve the efficiency.

This paper presents the software architecture of an interface for real-time three-dimensional (3D) collision detection and determination in a maritime Virtual Environment. Interface classes, attributes and functions to compute the collision point, the moment of impact, and the local velocity and normal vectors of the surfaces at the collision point are described. If a physics application programming interface is available, these values can be used to estimate the objects’ responses to the collision. Within the scope of this work, a wrapper was developed and integrated in a 3D Ship Simulator prototype system.

It has been always a challenge to grade and assess the students’ CAD (Computer-Aided Design) three-dimensional models in the class. The high number of the files and complexity of models make the task time-consuming and tedious many times. For example, even opening and closing each CAD file takes a lot of time. When hundreds of CAD models need to open and verified, it takes more than one hour to finish the task. The work has been done to simplify this task and make it easy using Commercial CAD software’s API (Application Programming Interface), which can be used to automate and customize the CAD software. The API contains hundreds of functions that you can call from Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), VB.NET, Visual C#, Visual C++ 6.0, and Visual C++/CLI. These functions provide direct access to CAD functionality such as opening a file, check the important physical properties of three-dimensional models. Custom API program has been programmed for the task. The custom program executes the internal commends in CAD software and retrieve the data you need from each CAD file automatically. The program opens the multiple CAD files in the folder and check each file’s physical properties and save the information in MS Excel for the review. The program checks the volume (w.r.t the given coordinates) in two standard units (English and S.I. Units), the creator of model (to prevent the plagiarism) and degrees of sketch. In this paper, the following topics will be discussed and presented. 1) The problem with manual grading and assessment, 2) History and background of API functionality in commercial CAD software, 3) Examples of simple source code for API usage, 4) Running example of the API program for the given task, 5) Comparison between manual assessment and automatic assessment using API in terms of spent time. 6) Future improvement with API program. Actual demonstration of the program will be given during the presentation.

Availability the Application Programming Interface (API) for third-party applications on Android devices provides an opportunity to monitor Android devices with each other. This is used to create an application that can facilitate parents in child supervision through Android devices owned. In this study, some features added to the classification of image content on Android devices related to negative content. In this case, researchers using Clarifai API. The result of this research is to produce a system which has feature, give a report of image file contained in target smartphone and can do deletion on the image file, receive browser history report and can directly visit in the application, receive a report of child location and can be directly contacted via this application. This application works well on the Android Lollipop (API Level 22). Index Terms— Application Programming Interface(API), Monitoring, Negative Content, Children, Parent.

Abstract We present extensions to ChainQueen, an open source, fully differentiable material point method simulator for soft robotics. Previous work established ChainQueen as a powerful tool for inference, control, and co-design for soft robotics. We detail enhancements to ChainQueen, allowing for more efficient simulation and optimization and expressive co-optimization over material properties and geometric parameters. We package our simulator extensions in an easy-to-use, modular application programming interface (API) with predefined observation models, controllers, actuators, optimizers, and geometric processing tools, making it simple to prototype complex experiments in 50 lines or fewer. We demonstrate the power of our simulator extensions in over nine simulated experiments.

Programming Interface

The OpenMP specification defines a set of compiler directives, library routines, and environment variables that together represent the OpenMP Application Programming Interface, and is currently defined for C, C++, and Fortran. The forthcoming version of Ada, currently dubbed Ada 202X, includes lightweight parallelism features, in particular parallel blocks and parallel loops. All versions of Ada, since its inception in 1983, have included "tasking," which corresponds to what are traditionally considered "heavyweight" parallelism features, or simply "concurrency" features. Ada "tasks" typically map to what are called "kernel threads," in that the operating system manages them and schedules them. However, one of the goals of lightweight parallelism is to reduce overhead by doing more of the management outside the kernel of the operating system, using a light-weight-thread (LWT) scheduler. The OpenMP library routines support both levels of threading, but for Ada 202X, the main interest is in making use of OpenMP for its lightweight thread scheduling capabilities.
