CAD parts often have different forms that they can take based on the assembly they’re used in. A common approach to managing this variability is through configurations.

Configurations let you show different setups of a part, all within the same file. But there are drawbacks to configurations, including bloated file sizes, and they can be confusing if the naming is inconsistent.

With the power of the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform, there's a better way with the product mechanical behavior option. Check out this video to understand the use cases of this feature.
