Abstract

An assembly sequence generating apparatus includes a computer that has a display control unit ( 301 ) that causes a display unit to display a 3-D model; a setting unit ( 302 ) that, when parts included in the 3-D model displayed on the display unit are sequentially selected, sets the selected parts to not be displayed; and a storing unit ( 304 ) that stores to a memory unit, a reverse sequence of a sequence of the selection of the parts as an assembly sequence of the 3-D model.

Claims (19)

1. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing an assembly sequence generating program that causes a computer to execute a process comprising:

displaying parts other than fastening parts on the display unit, the parts and the fastening parts being included in a 3-D model, the fastening parts being set in advance to not be displayed;

causing parts sequentially selected from the displayed parts in the 3-D model to not be displayed;

identifying a specific fastening part when a specific part is selected, the specific part being included in the displayed parts in the 3-D model, the specific fastening part fastening the specific part; and

storing, to a storing unit, a reverse sequence of a sequence of the selection of the displayed parts as an assembly sequence of the 3-D model, the specific fastening part being associated with the specific part in the assembly sequence.

2. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 1 , the process further comprising:

calculating a degree indicating ease of disassembly of each part selected in the 3-D model; and

displaying, on the display unit, information that indicates the degree of ease of disassembly according to ease of disassembly.

3. An assembly sequence generating apparatus comprising a computer configured to:

control a display unit to display parts other than fastening parts of a 3-D model, the fastening parts being set in advance to not be displayed;

set, when the parts other than the fastening parts included in the 3-D model displayed on the display unit are sequentially selected, the selected parts to not be displayed;

identify a specific fastening part when a specific part is selected, the specific part being included in the displayed parts in the 3-D model, the specific fastening part fastening the specific part; and

store, to a memory unit, a reverse sequence of a sequence of the selection of the displayed parts as an assembly sequence of the 3-D model, the specific fastening part being associated with the specific part in the assembly sequence.

4. A manufacturing method comprising:

displaying, on a display unit, parts other than fastening parts of a 3-D model that simulates a product, the fastening parts being set in advance to not be displayed;

causing parts sequentially selected from the displayed parts in the 3-D model to not be displayed;

identifying a specific fastening part when a specific part is selected, the specific part being included in the displayed parts in the 3-D model, the specific fastening part fastening the specific part;

storing, to a storing unit, a reverse sequence of a sequence of the selection of the displayed parts as an assembly sequence of the 3-D model, the specific fastening part being associated with the specific part in the assembly sequence; and

manufacturing the product according to the stored assembly sequence.
