Research and Application of Universal Traversing Algorithm of Product Structure

Aiming to solve the rigidity and difficult-reusability of the product structure traversing algorithms existing in the current product management systems, a universal traversing algorithm of product structure is proposed through analyzing the requirement diversity of dealing with product structure in practice. Then the proposed algorithm is applied to Wind chill product data management system to implement the functions of creating complete product structures, exporting bills of materials, displaying product structures and changing them.
