| With the economic development and progress in civilization, it's rather too strong for people in pursuit of beauty. In the same technical conditions, tractors can make more competitive in the market when they have a beautiful shape. Therefore, from the origin of researching styling design, it is very important for improving the market competition to explore the design innovation, optimize design method and accelerate the paces of launching products.Based on the development history, the paper sums up shape features of tractor at different times, summarizes design principles and indicates influence factors of tractor shape design, sufficient bases and references can be provided for tractor shape design. Traditional design method of shape design can be discussed. At the same time, the demerits and defects can be pointed out. With the development and analysis of digital key technology in tractor shape design,the design method which is fit for current development needs is established. Combination with CATIA V5 software, the paper elaborates the application of digital shape design method in tractor design. Taking some model of tractor as the example, combination with the aesthetic principle and influence factors, the paper studies the application of the digital design in tractor formative design, and tractor shape can be designed and analyzed in the paper. |
