1.1 Assembly Design
Workbench
When designing parts in the Part Design workbench, features
are created and positioned parametrically with respect to each
other and to other reference features. Parts that belong to an
assembly can be assembled and positioned parametrically in a
CATProduct file using the Assembly Design workbench.
Accessing the
Assembly
Design
Workbench
By default, CATIA opens in the Assembly Design workbench.
You can also activate the Assembly Design workbench by
selecting Start>Mechanical Design>Assembly Design or
File>New>Product.
When the Assembly Design workbench is activated, various
assembly-specific toolbars open. The Product Structure toolbar
shown in Figure 1–1 enables you to assemble components,
create part and product files in context, replace components,
manage an assembly, and multi-instantiate components.
