Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to obtain the reasonable dimensioning for each part and a full-dimension model of assembly dimensions.
Design/methodology/approach
The relational path graph of assembly dimension, the shortest-path spanning tree of functional dimension and a revised spanning tree are established in this paper.
Findings
The proposed method can obtain reasonable dimensioning of parts and establishment of dimension model in an assembly.
Originality/value
The proposed method can easily realise by computer and be more suitable to automatic dimensioning and establishment of dimension model of parts.
