Abstract: In order to adapt the development of the modern technology and the fast renewal of the product request, aiming at rapid modeling design of the assembly in mechanical product, based on SolidWorks2011 development platform and made use of VC++ programming language embedded in SolidWorks, the solid model of the hammer mill was established, and the intelligent and automatic design method by the DLL of hammer mill was researched, the development of user interface was completed. Characterized by the dimensiondriven, the parameterdriven remodeling of hammer mill was achieved,the whole model was changed automatically,and the procedural codes combined with specific examples were designed. As a result, a parametric modeling plugin about the selfdesigned hammer mill was generated.The results show that this intelligent design system can modify the parameters of the fitted parts under hammer mill quickly and automatically, and output intuitive threedimensional solid model of the assembly, which realizes intellectualization and automation of hammer mill design, speeds up the process of product design and enhances the efficiency.
