Assembly Modeling

In making the 'Speed Reducer' assembly, we will learn about assembly

tools and operations, including making new assemblies, adding components,

adding Mating relations between them and later adding fasteners. We'll cover

component design tables, interference detection, assembly exploded views, and

how to change a part's dimensions while working in the assembly. The sequence

to follow while making the 'Speed Reducer' assembly is the following:

command, from the "templates" tab select the Assembly template, and click OK.

Custom assembly templates are created just like part templates, the main

difference is that we cannot assign a material to an assembly template

because an assembly is a collection of individual parts where each part has

a material assigned to it.
