Which type of assembly can be included as parts in other assemblies?

Sub-assemblies can be included as parts in other assemblies because they are smaller, self-contained collections of components that are grouped together to perform a specific function. This modular approach allows for more efficient design and easier management of complex assemblies. By using sub-assemblies, designers can break down larger projects into manageable parts, enabling easier updates and rearrangements.

When a sub-assembly is created, it acts as a single unit within the larger assembly, which not only simplifies the overall design process but also improves clarity and organization. This structure helps in reusing designs across different projects or parts of the same project, ultimately enhancing workflow efficiency in Solid Edge.

The other types of assemblies do not typically function in this manner. For instance, full assemblies represent the complete product and cannot be treated as individual parts within another assembly. Multi-body assemblies refer to a collection of bodies within a single part file, which does not translate into a separate assembly level, while compound assemblies usually imply a complex grouping of parts that also cannot be reused like sub-assemblies.
