  • Computer-implemented method of generating and displaying an exploded view
    Patent number: 10872181
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of generating and displaying an exploded view of a three-dimensional model of an assembly (A) of parts (01, 02, 03), the three-dimensional model having a hierarchical structure comprising a plurality of levels, the method comprising the steps of: a) displaying an unexploded view of the assembly; b) displaying a graphical tool (GT) representing the levels of the structure of the assembly and, for each level, an explosion ratio; c) receiving an input for selecting a level and an explosion ratio, and using the graphical tool for displaying them; d) displaying an exploded view of the assembly, wherein only groups of parts associated to higher levels than the selected one are taken apart. A computer program product, non-volatile computer-readable data-storage medium and computer system for carrying out such a method.
