Abstract
This paper presents an algorithm for mechanical part resemblance based on manufacturing features similarity. The algorithm is generated from a hybrid variant/generative approach. In a first step the parts are studied and their chaining graph (CG) linking their manufacturing features is generated. In a second step, the CG is compared to other CG available in the study database, thus generating a set of parts with a specified manufacturing similarity percentage. The algorithm is split into three phases: Chaining graph generation, Manufacturing Features graph generation and Similarity Algorithm. The concept is verified through a first draft study case. The paper will end up with a conclusion and perspectives for further development.
