Abstract

This article is devoted to the collaboration of TRIZ function analysis and the engineering CAD software. The presented approach uses the TRIZ function modeling for the system development and improving, meanwhile, it uses the information from the CAD model in the initial source. The case study is illustrated by the industrial example. Its aim is the improving of the electromagnetic flow meter magnetic system the, created by means of the SolidWorks software. For process automatization the software, created in C# Microsoft Visual Studio by using the SolidWorks API tool. The suggested method proposes the formal mechanism based on the TRIZ methodology for the system developing and improving by means of the CAD model. This one may be used as in the conceptual design, so detail design stages and for patent-around design.
