Assemble Model

Overview​

This video demonstrates the Assemble Model command in Nitro-CELL, which adds a component to an assembly in Creo Parametric directly from an Excel worksheet. The command specifies the component model to assemble and the constraint or placement information needed to position it within the parent assembly. This enables engineers to automate the assembly process, building up complex assemblies from a list of components defined in Excel. The video walks through how to enter the Assemble command, specify the component name and placement details, execute the operation, and verify the component was added to the assembly tree. This is a key command for automated assembly creation workflows.

Key Steps​

  1. Open the target assembly in the Creo session
  2. Enter the Assemble Model command with the component name and placement details
  3. Execute the command to add the component to the assembly
  4. Verify the component appears in the assembly tree with correct placement
  5. Save the assembly to persist the new component

Tips​

  • Ensure the component model file is accessible in the working directory or search path
  • Define placement constraints carefully to position the component correctly
  • Use data worksheets to drive assembly operations for building assemblies from a parts list
