Abstract

A clamping device for clamping at least two components which are to be joined together includes a first carrier structure, a second carrier structure which is connectable to the first carrier structure by a connector, and at least one positioning device which is provided on the first or the second carrier structure in order to position the components to be joined together at a defined position with reference to the first or the second carrier structure. A method for designing a clamping device for clamping at least two components to be joined together includes steps for designing these various elements.
