    An assembly is a collection of components constrained to each other. This exercise introduces workflows you can use to insert and precisely position components relative to each other.

    Objectives

    The goal of the tutorial is to introduce techniques you can use to position and analyze the movement of components. Some of the topics covered are:

    • Assembly constraints
    • Contact sets
    • Flexible assemblies
    • Analyze interference
    • Insert components

    Prerequisites

    • Know how to set the active project, navigate model space with the various view tools, and perform common modeling functions, such as sketching and extruding.
    • See the Help topic “Getting Started” for further information.
