Discussion Topic: Top-down vs Bottom-up Assembly Design – Which One Do You Prefer and Why?
In the world of CAD design, especially when using SOLIDWORKS, assembly design can be approached from different methodologies – namely, top-down and bottom-up. Both strategies have their own unique advantages and challenges. We would love to hear from you: Which assembly design approach do you prefer in your projects, and why?
Here are some questions to consider:
What are the main factors that influence your choice between top-down and bottom-up design?
Can you share an example where one method worked better for your project than the other?
How does your team decide which approach to take for a new project?
What advice would you give to someone new to these concepts in terms of learning curves and potential pitfalls?
Have you found a hybrid approach to be effective in any of your projects?
We look forward to a lively discussion and hope everyone can gain new insights and ideas from each other's experiences!
