Abstract: A method of automatic acquiring exploded view was proposed. The ant colony algorithm was utilized to reduce the complexity of calculation. The computing method of exploded distance and the construction process of exploded view were presented. The connection matrix was used to evaluate the continuity of exploded view. The exploded view was optimized concerning with the changing frequency of the exploded direction, continuity and distance. Finally, with comparison of the automatic exploded view generated from UG NX, a reducer 3D model was studied to prove the validity and feasibility of the method.
