Abstract :
This paper presents a method to automatically derive all the feasible sub-assemblies and transitions between them from assembly drawings. The method uses representation of the precedence relations via Boolean expressions. As a result, the transition matrix is automatically generated, representing the assembly´s structure in the optimal disassembly sequence generation procedure. The method is applied to an assembly from industry
