Hybrid Design: Good or Bad

Hybrid Design: Good or Bad

Hybrid Design: Good or Bad

(OP)
I have not used Hybrid Design and am just curious about what you guys think of the advantages/disadvantages in using it.

Thanks,

Well...as always, if I had done a search before posting I would have found this thread:
http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=160663
and gotten some info there.

If anyone has any further input or found anything new to share..please, feel free.

Sorry for the redundant thread.

RE: Hybrid Design: Good or Bad

RG,

There was a COE session last spring on Hybrid Design, where the presenter talked about two advantages of using the Hybrid mode: 1. better tree structure because bodies are ordered, and 2. better Power Copies

There was a recent post about having problems with boolean operations, which was caused by having hybrid and non-hybrid part bodies in the same part. That will definitely cause problems!

RE: Hybrid Design: Good or Bad

My best advice on Hybrid Design:  You had either better always use it, or always not use it.  And by You, I mean your company.  Trying to work with mixed stuff is difficult at best, and trying to teach a user base both methods is very painful, if not impossible.
