Development of special software for disc brake design

Abstract

Special software for disc brake was developed based on Visual Basic language, in order to design the brake automatically and professionally. The developing principles were easy application, professional design and intelligent operation. Calculating and checking patterns for the main parts of the brake were presented using programming languages. Once the design parameters were input into the software, structural and checking information of the brake components was proposed, which could provide references for the designer. The design and checking report was output with word format, when the analysis data met requirements. The results indicate that the software is easy and efficient to operate.
