Abstract

Configuration space visualization methods are presented with the purpose of elucidating qualitative contact information. The research challenge is to relate the configuration space geometry to the mechanical function of the parts. The efficacy of the methods is demonstrated on two small, but realistic, design examples. The examples show that standard visualization techniques suffice for some design tasks, while other tasks require novel capabilities.
