I like to answer the question with the following rule: The point of this story is to illustrate that there can be a lot of confusion surrounding the question of what a “large assembly” is. He responded, “It’s about the size of a barn….” I asked him, “Approximately what size is the assembly?” My goal was to determine how large the file size was and/or how many components were in the assembly.
I was once working on a SOLIDWORKS Tech Support case and a customer told me that he was working on a large assembly. Is it an assembly with over 500 parts? With over 1,000 parts? With 5,000 parts? Is it an assembly that is 20MB in file size? 100MB in file size? 500MB in file size? There is often a lot of confusion regarding what constitutes a large assembly. At the end, I will leave you with a list of my top six tools to get the best possible performance from your large assemblies. In this blog, I will break down some of these techniques and some of the terminology of large assembly management. The goal of this blog is to illustrate some of these settings and techniques to help your assemblies perform better and faster. Beyond this, your physical computer hardware and networking setup may play a role in the amount of time it takes to open and save your larger assemblies. SOLIDWORKS has some great settings that can help speed up the use of large assemblies, but there are also some modeling techniques that you can use to significantly reduce the time required to open and work with assemblies.
