The steps for creating an assembly include the following:
- Determine how to use the design in the present application, and how it can be used in future applications.
- Write the rules for your assembly in ordinary “speaking” language. These simply written rules serve as a guide when you create the formal rules in your design using iLogic Rule language.
- After you have written the rules in plain language, place the components into the assembly.
- Constrain the components, and examine the remaining degrees of freedom.
- Add more constraints as necessary to constrain all parts fully.
In this tutorial, the assembly you build is a simple manifold block with flange fittings that are attached using socket head cap screws.
