Bottom up design with pre-detailing

This method involves step-by-step creation of assembly components and its subassemblies in separate windows starting from the bottom level and to the top level. The required parts of pre-arranged detailing geometry are copied in the components. The coordinates of assemblies, subassemblies, and parts match.

This method applies  if:

scope and design of the assembly are clear in the beginning;

most parts and assemblies are developed for the first time (the amount of borrowed and library models is insignificant);

there’s no need to simulate moving parts.

Sequence of bottom up design with pre-detailing


Step

Description

Comment


1.Preparing detailing geometry

– a part or assembly file with the detailing geometry of the developed assembly is created

if required, collections of geometric objects are created for the main nodes within assemblies


2.Creation of parts

parts files are created;

Using the Copy Objects command, the necessary objects and/or their collections required for constructions are copied from the detailing geometry file to the detail files.

– build operations in part files are executed.



3.Creation of subassemblies, insertion of components in subassemblies

– subassembly files are created;

detailing geometry is inserted in each subassembly;

components are inserted in the subassembly origins;

If subassemblies are included in higher level subassemblies, the actions of this step are repeated in higher level subassemblies.


4.Creation of an assembly

file of the developed assembly is created;

pre-arranged detailing geometry is inserted in the assembly;

components are inserted in the origins

– inserted detailing geometry is used for controlling the developed assembly
