Abstract

A computerised trace method has been developed for determining the relationships of assembly requirements with design dimensions and tolerances of the components in an assembly, and the relationships of design specifications and machining allowance requirements with manufactured dimensions and tolerances of the component in a process plan. This method traces from the proposed components or planned operations only the dimensions and tolerances that affect the given requirement, and therefore the equations for design or for manufacture can be established simultaneously and accurately. Hence it is possible to establish constraints for the optimisation of dimensions and tolerances for design or for manufacture.
