Managing Assembly Constraints for Large and Small Assemblies |
| Category: |
Engineering/Design |
Description: |
Whether you have 10 or 10,000 part assemblies, constraint models can be used in all areas of design where assemblies require a more stable design approach rather than using product constraints. This session will demonstrate the fundamentals of using a constraint model within an assembly and how these models drive changes throughout the entire product. Also covered: methods of creating stable links; contextual vs non-contextual links; how to build assemblies that are parametrically driven from a single stable source. |
