Parts too heavy for assembly

3D Design Volume Model
1

Hello

Here's my problem:

I make assemblies from sheet metal parts with a multitude of perforations (see P.J).

The problem is that these parts (35MB for this example) are really too heavy to process in assemblies; I was wondering if it was possible to create:

* either a derivative part (envelope type)

* or, for use in a set, created a kind of decal representing the slots just for the visual and thus make the part less heavy.

 

 

Any opinions on this?

Thanks in advance

Being used to this kind of parts, there is in the appearances in the miscellaneous tab/realview appearances, a representation of drillings.

Then on your coins you can put the blocking bar to avoid recalculating the coins.

 

Otherwise, save your coins in light.

The decals are often the option taken for the creation of calibotis among other things

You can also decrease the image quality in the solidworks options. It lightens the files quite a bit.

Thank you

 

I'm trying the blocking bar... obviously it still takes time...

Hello

You could create a second configuration of this room called "simplified" where you would remove (deactivate) your functions that create the openings.

So in your assembly, when the level of detail of the part openings is not needed, you use the simplified version of the part.

Yes Benoit, I've thought about it and I'll try it after the blocking line... Thank you

For the shares you have the statistical tool of the function

in Customize option / order / tools / a traffic light with a clock

that allows you to understand the % of the opening time of your rooms

which will allow you to understand how to better make these pieces from the point of view of the opening % of it

Hello

The locking bar does not take into account sheet metal bodies.

The locking bar takes into account sheet metal bodies

you have to use it in your parts and not in the assembly

thank you GT22, indeed the blocking bar takes into account the sheet metal parts.

The fact of applying the blocking bar on sheet metal bodies does not bring anything on the opening tps. 
Effective on other multi-bodies, but not sheet metal.
A request for improvement was made X months ago to SW.
