Abstract: The possible dimensioning modes of a part are ever-changing, in order to obtain the optimal dimensioning mode, the contact path graph of assembly dimension can be established by taking each surface in an assembly as a node. By taking the formative path of functional dimension as the starting point, ranking the precision of the functional dimension, and solving the multiple shortest path of functional dimension on the basis of the contact path graph, the shortest spanning tree of assembly dimension is obtained. According to the dimension custom, the revised spanning tree can be obtained by revising the shortest spanning tree, which can determine the optimal dimensioning mode of each part and can establish a full interrelated dimension model. This approach can realize by computer aided easily and is more suitable for automatic dimensioning and establishment of dimension model of parts in complex assembly.

Key words: assembly dimension, dimension model, dimensioning mode, the contact path graph, the shortest spanning tree
