Abstract :
The Knowledge-based Virtual Assembly System (KVAS) focuses on the generation, selection, evaluation, planning, optimization and simulation of mechanical product assembly in a virtual environment with the help of a knowledge-based system. The system we present uses the virtual environment as the user interface for engineers to manipulate the assembly interactively, together with a knowledge-based system as an intelligent assistant to do some automatic assembly planning
