In this chapter, we learned skills that will enable us to create more robust and agile models. We covered equations that will enable us to create more connected models to help us to deliver our design intents. We also learned how to create different configurations of a specific model. We learned how to do that by directly and manually adding and adjusting configuration or by using design tables to accomplish a similar objective.

The new skills in this chapter will enable us to generate more connected models. They will also enable us to generate many different variations of a model in a single SOLIDWORKS file. These will enable us to more efficiently conduct variation testing and quicker adjustments, which were the goals of this chapter.

In the next chapter, we will cover advanced mates within assemblies, which will help us to create assemblies with parts that have more...
