Assembly analysis (Product Design)

Previous Answer:
To integrate assembly design and assembly operation analysis, assembly design models should be translated to an assembly analysis models. There have been some research investigations conducted to integrate product design and analysis. Peak at al40 presented a multi-representation architecture of intension of CAD-CAE integration.

New Answer: (Better)
The aim of assembly analysis is to identify parts that can be treated logically independently. It deals with arranging features into feature packages in the manner by which the resulting Assembly Model (see Fig.2 ) can be used to structure the development teams needed. Features with high degree of cohesiveness should be grouped together into packages. Feature assembly analysis consists of two steps. Feature cluster analysis and feature package distribution.
