| Abstract | The hierarchy of assembly components in a CAD assembly model is rarely a true representation of the sequence of assembly of these components during manufacturing. Thus, any assembly planning or evaluation software system needs to re-order and re-group the various components of the CAD assembly model to reflect the sequence of component assembly. Although all parametric CAD systems allow reorganization of the assembly tree, it is a difficult and timeconsuming process due to the relationships and constraints between the various components. We propose an alternative hybrid method that couples the CAD system and a visualization tool that supports reorganization, while preserving data, to allow fast and easy rearranging of the assembly hierarchy. Also, after the reorganization, polygonal representations of the new sub-assemblies are created and the original constraints are also transformed in a consistent manner. As a next logical step, we compare the time required to rearrange the assembly hierarchy using both methods — the CAD system alone and the hybrid system. A statistical analysis using three treatment factors indicates that if the number of components is more than 15, then it is more efficient to use the hybrid method over the CAD system. The overarching goal was to allow fast and efficient creation of different assembly hierarchies to allow the corresponding assembly sequences to be verified in a virtual assembly application that derives its models and constraints from the assembly hierarchy in the CAD system. We have implemented the method to allow the successful reorganization and virtual assembly verification of many industry models, some with several hundred components, provided by various industry partners. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
