Defining Mechanisms

Defining mechanisms involves specifying which engineering connections from the associated product are enforced in the mechanism to determine how the product components move with respect to each other. You can define a dressup based on rigid engineering connections to attach the components that belong to the model to the mechanism's components. You can also assemble mechanisms to create a macro mechanism that enables reuse and associativity relevant for concurrent engineering purposes.
