The benefits of 3D modeling for managing and visualizing your design increase as the size and complexity of the product increases. A wide range of large assembly design tools in SOLIDWORKS make this possible including:
Configurations enable both detailed and simplified versions of a product to be designed
Large Assembly Mode automatically activates software performance options which can be set to trigger automatically whenever assemblies exceed a certain number of components
Large Design Review, the fastest way to open and investigate a large assembly, streamlines quick overviews and editing of large designs
AssemblyXpert provides recommendations, such as SOLIDWORKS performance settings, to speed up large assembly design
Exploded views document and explain your product design and help with planning for downstream manufacturing steps
“Magnetic” mating of components allows users to quickly snap an assembly together, thereby significantly reducing the time to complete a large assembly
