英文摘要：

In order to solve the problem of automatic generation of assembly dimension chains, a new methodbased on information cells is proposed. First, a hierarchical assembly model is established, the dimension & toleranceinformation cells and assembly constraint cells are built. Meanwhile, tolerance information is normalized.After that, the transfer diagram of assembly relations is constructed based on the relationship between informationcells, and the assembly dimension chain is generated with consideration of the searching priority. Finally, a prototypesystem is developed based on CATIA V5 platform, and an example is given to prove that the proposedmethod can effectively improve the accuracy and success rate of the automatic generation of assembly dimensionchains.
