US 2011/0022208 A1 · VISUALIZATION OF PRODUCT BUILD USING PRECEDENCE TRANSVERSAL METHOD

Abstract

A method for visualization of product build which includes compilation of a virtual temporal configuration of an in-process assembly and visualization of the results using three-dimensional representations of the affected products and associated resources. An illustrative embodiment of the method includes formulating a plurality of installation plans each adapted to direct production of a portion of a product within a build sequence of the product and enabling three-dimensional virtual visualization of a temporal build state of the portion of a product for each of the installation plans.
