between instances in the development of a flexible assembly model assembly constraints: - ANSWER-Used to establish relationships. associativity - ANSWER-The situation whereby parts can be modified and the components referenced to the parts will be modified accordingly. base instance: - ANSWER-The one fixed instance within an assembly. bill of materials: - ANSWER-A tabular list of the components, with quantities of each for the parts, that make up an assembly. bottom-up modeling: - ANSWER-The process of creating individual parts and then creating an assembly from them. clearances: - ANSWER-The minimum distances between two instances in an assembly. exploded configuration: - ANSWER-A configuration of an assembly that shows instances separated from one another. An exploded configuration is used as the basis for an assembly drawing. components: - ANSWER-References of object geometry used in assembly models. hierarchy: - ANSWER-The parent-child relationships between instances in an assembly. instances: - ANSWER-Copies of components that are included within an assembly model. interference: The amount of overlap between two instances in an assembly. subassembly: - ANSWER-A logical grouping of assembly instances that is treated as a single entity within the overall assembly model. top-down modeling: - ANSWER-The process of establishing the assembly and hierarchy before individual components are created. fishbone diagram: - ANSWER-A diagram that shows the various subsystems in a device and the parts that make up each subsystem analysis: - ANSWER-The study of the behavior of a physical system under certain imposed conditions laser scanning - ANSWER-(three-dimensional): A process where cameras and lasers are used to digitize an object based on the principle of triangulation.
