Abstract: To set up integrated virtual prototype model more rapidly, a component-based collaborative assembly method was presented. In this method a component-based representation of virtual prototype was established using the port-based modelling method. Based on the representation, a component-based collaborative assembly architecture was constructed. In this architecture the assembly process was divided into three basic steps: grasp and drag of connection element, pre-processing of assembly and component assembly. This method has simplified assembly process and improved the efficiency of assembly modelling. Finally the solution space of collaborative assembly was analyzed.
