Abstract: Although the bottom-up product modeling methodology has obvious advantages over the top-down modeling as the reuse of the informatization design resources and design teamwork cooperation, it has disadvantages as assembly conflicts and difficulty for design variation. To deal with this problem, the flexible components model and its self-adaptive assembly modeling methodology were proposed. For all the components, based on the principles of standardization, serialization, modularization, rationalization, et al, flexible tabular layouts of article characteristics including the rules for components selection or variation were set up, the corresponding flexible components model was also established. To assemble a product with this bottom-up method, according to the components assembly requirements and the selection or variation rules of the flexible components, upon a simple conflicts elimination objective or an optimization objective, the right components would be selected or adjusted and the effective assembly could be realized. The adaptive assembly process for the framework of certain rapier loom was demonstrated. The proposed method was helpful to improve the design efficiency and reduce the design cost.
