Guidance on Creating Main Product with Sub-Products in CATIA V6 / 3DEXPERIENCE

Hello Team,

I am working in CATIA V6 (3DEXPERIENCE) and need to create a main product that contains around 100 sub-products. My goal is to set it up so that when I open the main product, only the CATIA tree loads initially, and then I can choose and load individual sub-products as needed, instead of loading all at once.

Could you please guide me on the best approach to achieve this? Specifically:

  • How to configure the product structure so sub-products are referenced but not fully loaded.
  • Any settings or options (like cache mode or lightweight mode) that should be enabled.
  • Best practices for managing large assemblies efficiently.

Thank you for your support!
