摘要
Multi-sequence modelling is proposed to optimise assembly sequences for compliant body assemblies such as automotive and aircraft bodies. Multi-sequence modelling is composed of assembly modelling, assembly sequences, tolerance analysis, and assembly operations. Assembly modelling describes the geometric modelling through the liaison graph, which is based on assembly sequence optimisation. Assembly sequences provide information for assembly sequence optimisation. Three-dimensional tolerance analysis is employed to evaluate assembly operations, which is different from previous conceptual tolerance analysis. A genetic algorithm is presented to optimise assembly operations among components. Results show that different sequences lead to a different tolerance of key product characteristics because assembly operations among components are not identical. This paper provides the flowchart of optimising assembly sequences according to the tolerance of key product characteristics.
