The 3-D parameterized model of apple seeding lifter was created using autodesk inventor professional (AIP) system. The finite element analysis (FEA) of the lifter were performed through ANSYS technology embedded in AIP analysis types based on the structure, material, loads and forces of the lifter, the 3-D FEA mesh was created, and stress, displacement, and safety factor were obtained after finite element calculation. Then some modifications of lifter configuration were made according to the FEA results. The new lifter with L shape could save materials, reduce resistance. The safety factor could also achieve design purpose. The experiment of lifting seeding results showed that the lifter could provide better working performance with less resistance and obtain the expected effect.
