Abstract
Nowadays, commercial-off-the-shelf components (COTS) are fabricated and readily available on the market. These components come with dimensions that include limit deviations, as listed in manufacturers' catalogs. However, the existing algorithm used to solve dimension chains using the complete interchangeability method has a significant limitation: it cannot solve dimension chains where the COTS have predefined limit deviations. To overcome this limitation, an improved algorithm based on the complete interchangeability method has been developed. This improved algorithm outlines three specific cases to address all practical issues for solving the linear dimension chains. The accompanying examples help designers understand the algorithm's core principles, enabling them to apply the algorithm to their practical situations.
