Abstract: On the research of assembly modeling of mechanical products, current CAD systems can only support the design process
of component-to-assembly. It is diffcult to realize the design
process of assembly-to-component. The theory of self-organizing
assembly modeling based on relational constraints is
proposed, which implements the product design of assembly-to-component
commencing with conceptual design and supporting abstract design
and step-nice refinement design.
Key words: Assembly
modeling Assembly constraint Self-organizing assembly
