Research of the Technology and Application of 3D Model Based Assembly Structural Process Design for Spacecraft

Abstract

In order to implement spacecraft assembly based on MBD, this article proposes a method of structural process design based on 3D model. First, an Assembly Digital Mock-up (ADMU) is constructed. Second, we propose the way of assembly process design based on 3D structural process design scheme. Finally, the paper describes the application of the technology, and analyses the effect of the scheme during a satellite development. The technology and systems should be applied on other sophisticated products development, with some essential modifications.
