Abstract

The work described in this report extends the methods described in the report "Identification of Patterns of Repeated Parts in Solid Objects" ([2]) to deal with CAD assemblies and to the detection of additional types of patterns. Specifically rotational and compound patterns of repeated elements are treated. Therefore, references of all notations, definitions and terms of the objects cited in this report can be found in [2]. The Chapter 1 describes the proposed approach to detect rotational patterns of repeated entities in part model, extending the set of types of patterns considered in [1], [2]. Chapter 2 contains the method proposed for assembly models for the detection of symmetric arrangements on components, considering as repeated elements of the patterns the instances of a part or assembly file. Chapter 3 is dedicated to the introduction of the concept of compound pattern, intended as an improvement of the quality of the symmetry information of a model, obtained by combining the information referred to the patterns of repeated elements. The approach has been described and provided either for part and assembly models.
