A method of automatically generating partial exploded view based on disassembly sequence planning was proposed. To reduce the computation complexity, the ant colony optimization was used to solve the disassembly sequence. To acquiring the reasonable disassembly sequence the disassembly matrix was used. The optimal disassembly sequence concerning with the connection of sequence, the direction change of sequence were given by the algorithm. The method of calculating the exploded distance among parts based on the AABB(Axis-aligned bounding box) was given. Finally, comparing with UG NX, a case study proves the validity and feasibility of the proposed method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
