Objectives

Present methods and tools for analyzing the geometric quality of assemblies. Mastering the architecture and geometry of assemblies is a major industrial objective. The geometrical quality of the parts and the architecture of the assemblies can have direct repercussions on the assembly capacity of the product, but also on the services it must provide. This course presents the modern methods of assembly simulation by integrating the geometrical defects of their components. It thus identifies the theoretical concepts on which these methods are based, in order to understand their fields of application and their limits.
