Representations for assemblies

Mechanical, electrical and electronic products typically are assemblies of many component solid parts. The components of a product may be joined so as to form either (1) a rigid assembly, (2) an articulated collection of rigid bodies that may move relative to one another (often called a mechanism), or (3) a flexible, non—rigid assembly. No solid is perfectly rigid, and sometimes non—rigidity must be acknowledged explicitly, for example when two parts are press—fitted, or when one of the components is a spring.
