This study proposes a three-stage integrated approach with heuristic working rules to assist the planner to develop a better assembly plan. In the first stage, Above Graph and transforming rules were used to create a correct Explosion Graph of the assembly models. In the second stage, a three-level relational model was developed to create a complete relational model graph and an incidence matrix. In the third stage, a mathematical model, based on a penalty index was formulated, and a revised minimum spanning table method was used to generate and evaluate a feasible assembly sequence. The example of a military system is presented to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed method. The contribution of this study is based oil a design for assembly potential applications of three-dimensional (313) component models to assist manual or automatic assembly in a virtual environment, and allows the designer to recognize the relative position, constraints and relationships of 3D components using graph-oriented methods: Above Graph, assembly precedent diagram, and relational model graph.
