Abstract: Based
on the analysis of characteristic of cable harness process planning in
virtual environment, a discrete control point modeling (DCPM) method of
cable harness in virtual environment and the cable harness assembly
routing technique based on DCPM are proposed. DCPM converts a cable
harness into continuous flexed line segments connected by a series of
section center points, and the design can realize cable harness process
planning through controlling the control point. This method of cable
harness routing in the virtual environment breaks the status that
virtual assembly process planning is just suitable for the rigid
components at present, and puts the virtual assembly process planning to
be more practical. Relation algorithms are verified in the
self-developed system named virtual assembly process planning (VAPP)
system, and this system has been applied in assembly process planning of
aerospace-related products.
