Information regarding outside dimension of the structure () and/or inside dimension of the vessel () being marked on their surfaces prior to the start of assembly, and the information is read, and a cell structure () and a metal vessel () are selected based on read information in assembly to achieve a proper holding condition therebetween. Regardless of variations in external dimension of the structure, etc. constituting the assembly, the minimization thereof, and proper holding state may be achieved easily without causing a fracture of the structure, etc.
