An apparatus and method for producing an exploded view of an assembly. The invention includes an input unit, a geometrical data memory for storing geometrical data of parts composing an assembly, a/m for storing assembling process data composed of parts to be attached and attaching directions, a calculating unit for displaying the assembly to a display based on geometrical data, and apparatus for determining arranged positions of the parts in a disassembled state based on assembling process data and geometrical data, thereby producing an exploded view of the display corresponding to the arranged positions.

Apparatus for producing exploded view and animation of assembling, and method thereof

An apparatus and method for producing an exploded view of an assembly. The invention includes an input unit, a geometrical data memory for storing geometrical data of parts composing an assembly, a memory for storing assembling process data composed of parts to be attached and attaching directions, a calculating unit for displaying the assembly to a display based on geometrical data, and apparatus for determining arranged positions of the parts in a disassembled state based on assembling process data and geometrical data, thereby producing an exploded view on the display corresponding to the arranged positions.

An apparatus for producing an exploded view has an input unit, a geometrical data memory for storing geometrical data of parts composing an assembly, a memory for storing assembling process data composed of part to be attached data and attaching direction data a calculating unit for generating the assembly for a display unit based on the geometrical data, and means for determining arranged positions of the parts composing said assembly in a disassembled state based on assembling process data and the geometrical data, thereby an exploded view being displayed in the display unit corresponding to the arranged positions is determined. An apparatus for producing animation of assembling comprises a geometrical data memory for storing geometries of parts composing an assembly, an attaching procedure data memory for storing attaching procedures composed of attaching orders, part to be attached data and attaching direction data, a jointing data memory for storing jointing data composed of part to be attached data and jointing method data, a table for special jointing operation memory for storing a table for special jointing operation composed of jointing method data and operation data special for the jointing method data, and operating data producing means for producing operating data for part to be attached as an input parameter to an animation display function using the geometrical data in the geometrical data memory, the attaching procedure data in the attaching procedure data memory, the jointing data in the jointing data memory, and the table for special jointing operation in the table for special jointing operation memory.

A method and device for pattern processing whereby accurate and effective processing can be carried out as a user desires. A pattern processing device of this invention comprises an information input/output device, an information processing device, and a data storage device; wherein the information processing device comprises pattern processing means, significance describing means, characteristic information input means, characteristic information extraction means, characteristic information describing means, and pattern processing means making reference to characteristic information. Intentions of a user or characteristics of pattern elements or sets of pattern elements are described and added to the pattern data so that this characteristic information can be referred to when pattern data processing is carried out. Thus, it is possible to make accurate representation of pattern data in a computer, and it is also possible to generate or convert patterns as the user desires.
