One of the best methods for improving SOLIDWORKS large assembly performance is to create simplified configurations of the individual components for use in your assembly. A simplified configuration is basically a less detailed, or stripped-down version of your model which reduces the amount of data that must be loaded into RAM.

It can be extremely time-consuming (and sometimes frustrating) testing and retesting designs, whether your goal is mass reduction, flow maximization, temperature control, or other variables. The more design variations you create and test—intelligently— the greater your chances of finding the best design.

There's no single right way to do anything in SOLIDWORKS. For example, think about how to make a cube. You could use a center profile square and extrude it. You could also create a cube without using a sketch at all. Let's go through the different ways to make a cube, both hollow and solid, in SOLIDWORKS.
