Master Model Design

With the Master Model design approach, all sketches, features, and bodies that represent a design can be created within a single design tree, and later converted into individual components. Because everything is created in a single design tree, there is a convenient and powerful association between parametric 3d features.  The power of Master Model is that you can easily create individual components that are derived directly from those features and solid bodies.

This lesson shows how this approach can be applied to a simple example:

Benefits Summary:

• The Single Modelling Environment allows you to design a specific form factor using 3d parametric features,
• Easily separate bodies in the design to get the assembly components
• The master model approach ensures a high degree of associativity to the master model.
• Find the components you need to complete your design with the powerful search tools within SolidWorks Mechanical Conceptual
• The master model technique is ideal for static assemblies that do not have moving components
