      <description>&lt;P&gt;Dear forum members,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I'm Dan, engineering student. I'm currently working on making a 3D configurator to automate the engineering proces, but i need some help&lt;SPAN style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;with my workflow/general insight what method to apply.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;To give a basic idea fo what im working in; &lt;U&gt;a model to combine a motor and a gearbox according to the user input.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Now both the motor and gearboxes have quite a few variants, which influence eachother, for my example i will use the motor.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The motor model basically consists of four parts;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;- Flange size&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;(1 to 10)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;- Housing size&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; (1 to&amp;nbsp;&lt;SPAN style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;12)&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;- Fancover size&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;(1 to 12)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;- Connection box size (1 to 5)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Now not every part can be assembled onto another, to give a few examples of this interaction:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;- biggest flange (10) can not be assembled onto housing size 5 or below.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;- A certain fan size, lets say 6, can be executed in two lengts, depending on the user input, so we get 6A and 6B.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;What im currently doing;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I made a iPart librairy of the motor as whole, with an excel sheet with every possibility, which is alot of possibilities and parameters...&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I thought maybe splitting up the model into multiple iParts would be a better idea? This way the excel files remain small, and parameters within the excel will be little work to adjust. Altough if i do this the assemblyfile will be more complex since i need to put the parts thogether and they have some form of interaction...&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;In the assembly file i want the model to be dynamic, users usually pick a motor based on their flange- and housing size. Lets say i fill in flange size 10 in the form, then i want the possible housing to only show size 6 to 10. since 5 or below is not possible.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I need to do a simular type of model for the gearbox, just like described above for the motor. A certain pick of motor also limits the gearbox possibilities and vise versa, so this adds another level of complexity&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I'm a bit lost and overwhelmed by the complexity of the assigment, and i would like to have some guidance to the right workflow/buildup of this model. Because there seems to be a trillion ways of approaching it&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;For your reference i found a website of a company that has a similar type of model, to get an idea of what im trying to do, click a bit throught the option;&lt;A href="https://www.sew-eurodrive.nl/os/catalog/products/drives/acgearmotor/default.aspx?language=en_US&amp;amp;country=NL" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt; HERE&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If the link is not allowed let me know, i will remove it, thank you all.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
