Abstract
A method for automatically generating hierarchical exploded views based on assembly constraints and collision detection, in which parts to be exploded are layered in explosion sequence according to a design result of the 3D assembly process planning, and the parts to be exploded in each layer are grouped based on the type and the disassembly direction; a feasible explosion direction of the parts in each layer is determined according to assembly constraints and collision detection; the explosion sequence and explosion direction of the parts in each layer are determined; and then the layered explosion is performed at a certain distance. Ball markers and a part-list are generated after all the parts are exploded.
