If you need to build structured mechanical assemblies that are easy to manage, reuse, and modify, this lesson introduces assembly modeling workflows in BricsCAD Mechanical.

Learn how parts, subassemblies, and assemblies are organized into a mechanical structure displayed in the Mechanical Browser. The lesson explains how to create and manage Mechanical blocks using commands such as BMNEW, BMMECH, and BMUNMECH, while demonstrating how assemblies are constructed from individual components.

You will explore the two primary assembly design methodologies used in mechanical CAD: bottom-up design, where parts are created first and combined into larger assemblies, and top-down design, where the overall product structure is defined before detailed components are developed.

Additionally, discover how to insert existing parts, create new mechanical hierarchy levels with BMFORM, and simplify structures using BMDISSOLVE for effective assembly management.
