Assembly
• Assembly modeling is the process of creating designs
that consist of two or more components assembled
together at their respective work positions.
• The components are brought together and assembled
by applying suitable parametric assembly constraints
to them.

Assembly Modeling Approaches
• Bottom Up Assembly
• Top Down Assembly
• Combination

Bottom Up Assembly
• Traditional approach
• Parts are created individually in the part mode
• Inserted into the assembly, located and oriented
(using the constraints) as per requirement

Pros and Cons • Allows the designer to use part drawings that already exist (off the
shelf).
• Provides the designer with more control over individual parts.
• Any changes in the original part is reflected on all the instances in the
assembly
• Assembly files created in this method occupy less disc space as they
contain only the information related to the assembling of the parts.
• Errors are manually identified and modifications to each component are
made to make the adjustment.
• If any of the assembly components is moved from its original location,
then the assembly will not open.

Top Down Assembly
• Assembly file is created first with an assemblylayout sketch.
• The parts are made in the assembly file itself andthen assembled using assembled using assemblyconstraints.
• The new parts are created relative to othercomponents.
• We create a skeleton first at the top of thehierarchy and move down the hierarchy, creatingsubassemblies and components.

Skeletons
What is it
• Zero-mass geometry
• Exact location detail
• Minimized geometric detail

Pros and Cons
• The overall design information is in one centralized location
• Reduce errors within complicated assemblies • Increased quality• Better project management visibility• Concurrent engineering• Top-level change control• The approach is ideal for large assemblies consisting of
thousands of parts. • Creating the top down assembly require more analysis
and work before start
