Relationships between parameters in an assembly are highlighted at an early design stage and the assembly is constrained accordingly.The highlighted parameters can also be used to calculate parametric changes which will eliminate the clashes in an assembly.The proposed methodolgy uses sensitivity analysis to highlight design the key parameters which can define and capture the design intent of an assembly.Clashes eliminated in 2 iterations (71.5 seconds), as shown in Table 1.

The bolt (standard component) was left unchanged.

Only parameters of central shaft and base components, in Fig.

Relationship identified: Shaft diameter = Hole diameter in the housing component These sensitivities are used to calculate the optimum combination of changes in each parameter to eliminate the clashes. 1 shows the method in which sensitivities are calculated for each parameter in the assembly as the change in clash volume due to a change in each component parameter value. Step 6: Constrain the assembly using the identified relationships. Step 5: Establish any relationships which may exist in the assembly by using the algorithm developed. Step 4: Generate a list of parameters with a sensitivity value along with the features which the parameter represent. Step 3: Calculate the sensitivity of each parameter as the change in clash with respect to the change in parametric value (ΔP). Step 2: Perturb the parameters in the assmebly model by a small amount (ΔP) and recalculate the clash in the assembly. Step 1: Calcukate initial clash in the CAD model assembly (if any).

Automatic identification of parameters which control the clash in an assembly and calculating parametric changes required to eliminate the clash present.

Constraining the assembly according to the identified relationships.

Identification of parametric relationships between different parts which an assembly is composed of.

The aim is to introduce an automated CAD based process defining and capturing design intent in assemblies, and to eliminate clashes which present in a CAD model assembly. If these problems are not solved before manufacture the physical parts will not assemble ogether without expensive rework.A well-captured design intent for assembly models will enable the designer to design out manufacturing and assembly difficulties at an early design stage.

Modern CAD environments ontain tools which allow CAD part models to be brought together and problems such as clashes to be discovered.

The intellectual arrangement of parts in an assembly is a difficult task. If you implement it form scratch, make sure to re-use solutions as an initial guess for the neighbouring positions and you will get fast results.An assembly is where the sub-assemblies and parts which comprise a product come together.

Using a solution for the kinematics problem in a position physically close to the current one is a great initial guess.ĬAD software uses a numerical solver in the background, same as Matlab SimMechanics. The key to fast numerical solutions is a good initial guess. Using the previous position as an initial guess, for the current one, which is only a slight change to the previous position will results in a very fast convergence, probably 5-8 iterations using a simple Newton-Raphson method. This buffer essentially becomes a path with waypoints described by the mouse movements. Each refresh (probably) fills up a buffer of waypoints very close to each other, and for each point in the buffer the solution of the previous point can be used as an initial guess.

You move the TCP (Tool Center Point) only a small amount, since your mouse (which drags the mechanism) travels only a small amount between two update periods, that means that the two solutions are close to each other. If you have a CAD assembled, that means that you have one valid configuration given. EDIT: Improved based on the comments below.
