Abstract
Computer aided assembly planning raises several issues such as the combinatorial explosion of information required for describing intermediate plans, a representation method of movable deirections of parts with respect to the other parts, and a representation method of assembly methods. This paper describes a method of using disassembly equations that represent movable directions of parts and distances with respect to the other parts, and assembly methods. Giving assembly criteria such as costs to assembly methods and solving the set of disassembly equations generate an optimal set of subassemblies under the given criteria. The solving of the equations does not employ a mechanism of generating every possible combination of subassemblies for searching for an optimal combination, and avoids the combinatorial explosion of the information. Furthermore, our method is able to represent motion steps sometimes required for assembling parts.
