machining casting models in catia
(OP)
I want to have a cast model as my base part and at the next level in the assembly machine it. Maybe add some holes or trim it to length lets say. This way the machined part would be one of the components or steps in the bom structure. I am a lot more experienced in UG where this was easily accomplished using wave or promotions. Does anyone have tip or similar scenario they follow? Thanks!

It is now possible to do what you want and have the BOM Structure turn out the way you want (outside of VPM). You can, however, use the COPY/PASTE SPECIAL, AS RESULT WITH LINK to maintain your associativity between the Casting and the Machining.

As for the associativity, yes, you can do that by using the copy/paste as result with link. You will need to have both parts open (or at least loaded) in order to see if your machining part needs any updates.
