Virtual Assembly Process

Assembly model of the Pro/Engineer CAD/CAM does not support the interference check of assembly path and process. To resolve this problem, this paper put forward a method which directly takes advantage of the eigen functions of Pro/Engineer. That is: Planning path and simulating dynamically under Skeleton, Setting interference conditions and simulation degree under Relation of Pro/Program, realizing the interference check with the man-machine interchange. Samples is also given to prove it. Combined with Family Table, this method also can realize the process-simulation, replacement, interference check. However, the automatically planning assembly path can not been reached up to now.
