Key Features

• Automatic creation & configuration of new parts and sub-assemblies, then automatically assembling them
• Automatic assembly of newly created or existing parts or sub-assemblies
• Creation of part level features
• Support for part family tables and assembly level family tables 
• Dimensional information provided thru user input or automatically from the program 
• Automatic relations from analysis features when assembling a component 
• All components and features created still have full redefine or edit definition capability 
• When a component is removed, the associated relations are also removed
• Rich programming flexibility – loops, conditional statements, variables, etc.
• Manufacturing and Drawing Automation Support 
• Works with Pro/Intralink and PDMLink

How It Works

• Define required automation rules using features, standard components and assemblies, SmartAssembly programming, and the required GUI
• Work either in part mode to add features or at the assembly level to add features or components
• Define project templates and re-use the data –automatically copy, rename a top-level assembly and all drawings, parts, sub-assemblies, even manufacturing files are copied and associated to the new project
• Use the SmartAssembly GUI to speed up all design and manufacturing tasks

Key Benefits

• Standardization of assemblies and parts  New users can be productive in a fraction of the time
• Productivity improvements of 50-80% are commonly recognized
• Advanced users create designs faster allowing them to focus on the design process 
• Re-use company standard libraries – create automation programs from existing components in hours  UDF organization – eliminates common UDF problems such as UDF naming, gph file location, or required references
