Master Model Methodology with Multibody Concepts
Design bodies in the context of the master model.
User Interface Location: In the Model Tree, right-click a body and select Create Part from Body.
Release: Creo Parametric 7.0.0.0

What is the benefit of this enhancement?
In Creo Parametric 7.0.0.0 the support of the master model methodology increases. With this method, you can design bodies in the context of the master model. Use body operations such as Boolean Operations, Split Body, Copy, Pattern, and Mirror, for a faster design of body geometry and body interface geometry. Create construction geometry to indicate a space claim for the final part. Extract bodies to parts and then reassemble in the final assembly using the support for bodies that is introduced in the Copy Geometry feature.
• Controls propagation of individual body properties in the Copy Geometry feature. Propagates changes from the master model to the extracted parts in the final assembly.
• Includes support for out-of-date notifications and Update Control when the body changes in the master model.
It is easier and there is more flexibility when designing small assemblies that are driven by the same context. Using master model methodology with multibody concepts reduces complexity by reducing and avoiding external or circular referencing. You have the freedom to define space claim in context and detail the derived parts.
Additional Information
Find additional information about multibody models, including configuration options and some limitations, in Part Modeling and other sections of the Help.
Tips:
None.
Limitations:
Full use of data sharing features such as external Copy Geometry, and Update Control, requires appropriate licenses.
Does this replace existing functionality?
No.
Configuration options associated with this functionality:
The value add_bodies is added to the configuration option boolean_default_operation. In an assembly, the default is merge. In a part, the default is add_bodies.
