Customization of Universal Coupling Model in Catia Using Visual Basic

Engineering is mostly concerned about customers' satisfaction. Initial stage for every production processes is designing. It is the only activity through which a designer can express his ideas into a real product. It covers the major portion of time and cost of production. Hence our project focus on modeling, to reduce the time and cost. Transfer of energy is the basic for any action and for this mainly used industrial component is shaft. Couplings and joints act as a language between two shafts. Based on the diameter of the shaft the dimensions of the coupling vary. Hence there is a need to remodel the component as per the new dimension. To reduce the time of modeling, this project deals with automatic generation of universal coupling. This paper can be further enhanced by following the same procedure to customize the generation of any component.
