Live demo: set a trailer’s dimensions and colour and watch the model rebuild in the browser.
Set the length, width, height, drawbar, number of wheels and colour. The frame rebuilds, cross-members included.
The trailer was drawn by an engineer in SOLIDWORKS, and gull system connected to the finished model. Set the dimensions, the drawbar, the number of wheels and the colour — the frame rebuilds in your own browser, down to the number of cross-members nobody types in.
An engineer drew this trailer in SOLIDWORKS. gull system connected to the finished model — nothing in CAD is created from scratch.
The fields in the form are captured features of that assembly: length, width, height, drawbar length, number of wheels, doors and colour.
The number of cross-members is not one of them — it follows from the length. A rule like that is one formula, not code.
The same form can be filled in inside the CAD. In the picture it is the panel on the right of SOLIDWORKS.
When an order arrives, gull system rebuilds the model and exports the drawing as a PDF, DXF for cutting, STEP and a bill of materials into that order's folder.
The drawing is not generated. The one the engineer drew is exported — dimensions, tolerances and title block included — recalculated to the new sizes.
Nothing is generated here on this page: this demo has no price and no order button, it shows the configuration only.
