Cimatron Assembly
The Cimatron Assembly environment is used to create an assembly—A component product consisting of at least two components that may consist of a set of other components (sub-assemblies). In other words, the individual components are assembled together (via a number of sub-assemblies) to create an assembly component of the whole product.
Components are positioned within the product assembly using constraints which define the relative position of components to each other, such as the axis alignment of two holes or the distance between two faces, edges, vertices, UCSs, and so on.
The images below show an assembly of two components. When creating a mold project, the system creates molds and the complete mold structure for these components.

How do I create a complex assembly?How do I create a complex assembly?
First create several small assemblies and save each one as a separate file. You can then combine these small assemblies (sub-assemblies) into larger assemblies.
A sub-assembly is an assembly that is used as part of a larger assembly. A sub-assembly can contain other sub-assemblies and/or parts, and can be used in many assemblies at the same time.
