Abstract
Uniform representation for assembly constraints that applies to a wide variety of constraint relations given in the literature is given. A systematic procedure for constraint reduction is also given: if two parts or subassemblies are related by multiple constraints, the constraint reduction procedure computes a single net constraint having the same effect. Three broad applications of the constraint representation and constraint reduction methods to problems in assembly modeling and tolerancing are discussed
