This document discusses techniques for simplifying large assemblies in SolidWorks. It describes when to use simplified assemblies, such as for assemblies with many features, embedded components, or unique parts. It outlines two main methods for simplifying assemblies: the simplified assembly model and simplified assembly visible faces approaches. The simplified assembly model uses solids and is fully associative, while simplified assembly visible faces prioritizes appearance and uses surfaces. The document also covers the limited update/save options, component tracker tool, and file opening behavior in the context of simplified assemblies.

3. Wanneer doe je Simplify?
 Assemblies met veel:
 Assembly Features
 Embedded Components (Frames/Pipes)
 Assemblies met veel unique onderdelen
 Export of delen
 Intellectueel eigendom

4. Wanneer doe je Simplify?
 Heel gedetailleerde assemblies
 Assemblies van slechte kwaliteit (import)
 Parts met veel surfaces

5. Welke methode
# methods
 Simplified Assembly Model
 Simplified Assembly Visible Faces
 Sync Enclosure Part Workflow (part)

6. Simplified Assembly Model
 Solids Based (Fewer Faces)
 Model what you want
 Fully Associative (Updates etc.)
 Manual/Interactive

7. Simplified Assembly Visible Faces
 Looks the best
 Easiest to make
 Surface Based (Option to Copy Solid)
 Heavier (More Data)
 Best when components are enclosed

8. Welke methodiek
• Simplified assembly model
• Simplified assembly faces
• Part workflow
• Design Assembly

9. Select Parts by Size
Some of the “Select Parts by Size” was
added to the Simplify-Visible Faces
command.
When running the Visible Faces command
the display of the processed and excluded
parts remains unchanged and will not
appear transparent.

10. Limited Update/Limited Save
 New On/Off Options
 Located on Tools TAB
 Modes that affect Assembly Update and Save
behavior
 Available in the no document environment
 Indicated in ASM Pathfinder

11. Limited Update
Alleen aangepaste onderdelen updaten in de assembly

12. Component Tracker
 List modified/changed components
 Updates All (Files with part copies)
 Save All
 Reports files it cannot save
 Works from Active Level Down
 Ignores Limited Update and Limited
Save settings

13. File Open
 Default Configuration Display
 No Selection Entry
(Configuration and Zone Lists)
 Info in Status Bar during open
