A synchronous simulation system of trimming line unfolding and flanging was developed based on SolidWorks platform.The system realized seamless integration between CAE analysis environment and CAD platform,which successfully help toavoid accuracy loss caused by data conversions.With the development tool of SolidWorks API and according to the actual process of flanging,the process operation tree and open material library were designed;also a technique of intelligent mesh repairing and the method of defining boundary constraints were studied.By using parametric modeling function of SolidWorks,parametric and automatic synchronous updating process in flanging simulation was also achieved,which managed to obtain feedback from the design change on feasibility and practicality in time.Combined with practical tests,an example of flanging simulation was performed at last,which validated the feasibility of SW-TUX.
