      <p class="para_topic">Before generating manufacturing data, you have to decide whether you want to follow the NX Master Model concept. In the Master Model concept, there is a clear distinction between the design part (part) and the manufacturing part (assy). The manufacturing part references the design part and the machine (sim010101_003) as assembly components. You can also create your manufacturing data directly in the design part (part as root).</p>
