-# AssemblyTiersNET
+# Assembly Tiers Method
 
-Assembly-by-Disassembly Algorithm implemented in VB.NET.
+## Description
+
+This project allows to create precedence graphs and AND/OR graphs from CAD assemblies with Catia v5. An assembly-by-disassembly algorithm, namely the assembly tiers method, is implemented in VB.NET. The assembly tiers method was initially described by Pintzos [link to paper](https://www.tandfonline.com/action/showCitFormats?doi=10.1080/0951192X.2015.1130260).
+
+## Installation
+
+- As a main CAD software, make sure to install *CATIA V5-6R2022*. (Other versions of V5 might work as well).
+- In CATIA, make sure to enable part's axis systems: Tools > Options > Infrastructure > Part Infrastructure > Create an axis system
+- Install *Visual Studio 2022* as IDE vor VB.NET.
+
+## How to use the project
+
+Follow the instruction in [User_Manual.pdf](User_Manual.pdf).
