The term “large assembly” means different things to different people, so how do we define a large assembly? Large assemblies are not defined by the number of component or physical properties, rather they have two primary characteristics. An assembly is considered large if: * It uses all your system resources * It

SOLIDWORKS part modeling is a powerful tool that can be used to design a wide range of parts, assemblies, and drawings. Several techniques are available for creating a SOLIDWORKS part model. The choice of technique will depend on the shape of the part and the desired features. Creating a good

Planning and File Management * Understand the need to plan ahead when creating large projects. * Understand the key elements required in a data management plan. * Understand the benefits of a file management system such as PDM.
