Assembly and CAD reminders:
We form the STATIC 000 using all the systems' CAD which should just be able to be opened and snap to all the same origins because we use the same UCS (coordinate system) and the same hdpt ref sketch. Likewise, the DYN system assembly is made up of SUS, UNS, STR sub assemblies that act the same way. While it is not actually mated together, it is statically in the right places as an assembly. Breaking it down more, for every part and component of a subassembly, suspension in this case, we have an assembly of those parts in place on the car.
To form a static sus assembly (not dynamic with mates), it is a similar situation of drag and dropping the PART ASSEMBLIES. For example, the control arm assembly is the entire set of the front suspension control arms in place at ride height, so there are four floating in space. The hardware and additional parts are then mated to it.
Same for the pushrod assembly, there will be two rods and its attached pieces that connect and comprise the hardpoints. This is made with the parts i.e. the rod parts put into the assembly, which should float in space in the correct orientation on the car profile anyway.
Remember that in this case it should be a Left and Right configuration of the one part, one part is the rod and then the rod has a left and right body within that part file by mirroring!
Avoid mirroring assemblies.
This is especially important when we make dynamic (moveable) assemblies so that both sides are not mirroring the motion. By forming a full assembly of the parts with mirrored bodied components, it is easier to assemble but it is not a mirrored assembly.
This might mean that doing the hardware mates is a bit more tedious since you are doing it to both sides manually.
Thus, when it comes to making the moveable assembly, then you will need to do the mates properly.
my previous slack message for context:
unsprung and suspension in the front remember that we are doing left and right configurations at a PART level and we are not doing mirrored assemblies. and we are prioritizing the static 000 assembly, so dont worry about mating hardware etc. to allow it to be dynamic (like the dummy assembly).
for unsprung assemblies left and right will be made without mirroring, for stuff like steerings tie rods and sus push rods, make the rod at part lvl then do left and right configurations, but any other rod parts in bild will be diff revisions (diff ID/OD, lengths)
for ex: control arms will now have top and bot, then R_ for the revisions. and there will be like a control arm assembly w all 4, then a pushrod assembly that has both L and R pushrods w the hardware for example
then, to achieve the 000 static, we are drag and drop the _24-DYN full assembly made from ^ FULL SUBASSEMBLIES - bc all our parts should be floating where they belong on the hardpoint sketch - hardware will be included on subassembly lvl
