AxisVM like many other Windows application supports Microsoft COM technology making its operations available for external programs. Programs implementing a COM server register their COM classes in the Windows Registry providing interface information.

Any external program can get these descriptions, read object properties or call the functions provided through the interface. A program can launch AxisVM, build models, run calculations and get the results through the AxisVM COM server. This is the best way to build and analyse parametric models, finding solutions with iterative methods or build specific design extension modules. DLL modules placed in the Plugins folder of AxisVM are automatically included in the Plugins menu imitating the subfolder structure of the Plugins folder.
