- Abstract
- In this paper, we propose a new joint-based assembly modeling method. In joint-based assembly modeling, the assembly constraints are specified on the components, but not on the geometric elements of the components. The proposed method generates assembly models from kinematic joint constraints by applying three procedures ( 1) to extract all feasible JMFs ( Joint Mating Feature) for each mating component using information on joint constraints, ( 2) to derive mating alternatives for each pair of mating components after reducing the number of JMFs using the pruning criteria, and ( 3) to generate an assembly model by choosing the intended one from the mating alternatives for each pair of mating components and solving the JMF constraints. Since the joint constraints are expressed in terms of the relations between components rather than relations between geometric elements, the proposed method is more intuitive and natural for assembly modeling and supports modeling activities effectively by minimizing user interactions. By using joint mating constraints for assembly modeling, moreover, the kinematic behaviors of assemblies determined in the conceptual design stage can be directly applied and consistently maintained up to the detailed design stage. In the proposed method, it is also not necessary to re-input the mating constraints even when the component topology is changed.
