Assembly in Pro/ENGINEER is where you begin to bring all of your parts into one location and understand how they interact with each other. The assembly understands the location and orientation of your parts in relation to each other. You utilize constraints such as Mate, Align, and Insert to specify how the components fit together.
Once the assembly has been put together, you can analyze the components to check for interference and clearance. In addition, parts can be created within Assembly mode as well so you can better visualize the geometry within its space claim. Assembly Features can also be generated to effect multiple parts within the assembly.
As your Assembly grows in size and number of componenets, the challenge then becomes in how to manage the display and representation of all these parts.
These training tutorials cover Large Assembly Management techniques such as:
- Simplified Reps and Layers
- Read Only and Suppresed Features
- Component Display
- Exploded Views and Witness Lines
