An approach to creation of software, based on API SolidWorks so, that it extends the basic SolidWorks functionality, concerning 3D-modelling for mechanical transmissions elements. 3D-model has been created automatically, according to user defined parameters. API (Application Program Interface) is the general tool for this problem solving. Results: It is shown, that considered approach is effective for SolidWorks users for following reasons: fully automated style for this model creation, not very expensive analysis for the stress-deformed behavior, based on 1D FEM-model.

Keywords: computer aided design, mechanical transmissions, 3D-modelling, APIprogramming, COM-technology, SolidWorks, object-oriented design, CAD/CAM/CAE.
