...Abstract Abstract When the geometry of a non-rigid part or pre-assembly is measured fully clamped (over-constrained) in a measurement fixture, the spring-back information and influence from gravity forces are usually lost in the collected data. From the 3D-measurement data, it is hard...

The non-rigid variation simulations have been performed based upon the Method of Influence Coefficients (MIC) and additional...

... In Car Body Assembly Shops, Body in White (BIW), non-rigid sheet metal panels are assembled into car bodies. Depending upon the achieved degree of robustness in part and tool design, the produced items tend to deviate more or less from their nominal specifications. Catching eventual non-robust...

... simulations, is suggested. Traditionally, those kinds of non-rigid simulations are very time consuming, but by using this kind of simplified contact modeling in the Monte Carlo simulations, the simulation times can be kept down. The method is tested on an industrial case study. The analyses are done...
