METHOD OF ANALYSING CONNECTION OF COMPONENTS WITH RESPECT TO GIVEN DESIGN CRITERION

摘要

FIELD: information technology.;SUBSTANCE: design data are digital mock-ups, each accurately displaying a component in three dimensions, wherein the connection between mock-ups defines connection of components in three dimensions: identification of connection components; determining, among the identified components, several first pairs of components, each forming two components in mechanical contact with each other; determining among the first pairs of components, several second pairs of components, each forming two components corresponding to said at least one given criterion. Sets of second pairs of components are identified, depending on the identified set, determining the result of analysing connection of components with respect to said at least one given design criterion, determining at least one path through which a physical quantity in the connection or part thereof flows.;EFFECT: reduced errors when designing structures.;13 cl, 13 dwg
