🤷‍♂️Wussten Do you know that you can save up to 40% in time and costs by choosing the right design technique Multibody Part Modeling (MPM) or Assembly Modeling (AM)? 🤷‍♂️

In practice, this has been confirmed several times by our customers. Often it was due to a lack of know-how on how to apply the MPM technique and use it to their own advantage.

The MPM is a quick and easy way to create and edit multiple individual parts. However, it is more difficult to create an overall model and understand the interactions between the parts.

Advantages of Multibody Part Modeling:

1. One file contains the complete parametric information
2. Trimming and extending features is quick and easy and is even automated
3. All dimensions and constraints are controlled at the sketch level
4. A file that can be updated with all necessary changes
5. Multiple files and links are not required
6. Body list to reference all components

The AM provides a better overview of the overall model and the interactions between the parts. However, it can be more time-consuming to edit individual parts.

Advantages Assembly Modeling:

1. Design of a dynamic product where the system mechanism needs to be tested
2. Each component has a unique name or number and is tracked individually
3. An individual drawing is required for each part
4. Each component must be used as part of another construction
5. When the files are very large, assembly modelling uses techniques for loading and manipulating large constructions, such as Light Weight
6. Moving components in the assembly is more flexible with the help of the assembly links

Which construction technique is best suited to your company? Often a small look beyond the end of one's nose is enough to recognise and use the advantages.
