...Mukunthan S.; Manu R.; Deepak Lawrence K. Purpose This paper aims to propose a method to automate the tolerance analyses of mechanical assembly using STandard for the Exchange of Product model data-Application Protocol Part 242 (STEP AP 242) files derived from the 3-D computer-aided design (CAD...

... tolerance, reliability of the mechanical assembly to meet the assembly requirement can be estimated by a proper first-order reliability method. Findings The Bayesian modeling leads to an appropriate assembly function for the tolerance and reliability analysis of mechanical assemblies for assessment...
