Construct
Creates an empty Assembly Instance and then fills it with the given products.
The given Assembly Order defines both the Assembly Product Type to create, and to which Pattern Slots the Product Instances are placed into. The products are placed into Pattern Slots in the correct assembly order, and the Pattern Slot Product Type filters must accept the Product Instances.
The Construct statement is not intended for creating empty Assembly Instances, so at least one Product Instance must be successfully placed into the created Assembly Instance.
The Construct statement can optionally use linear motion to move the given products to their assigned positions in the created Assembly Instance. Duration of the motion is controlled by the AssemblyTime property and can be used to roughly simulate time taken by assembly operations or just for visualization purposes.
Figure 1. An example Process where some external logic is used to receive Part Instances to a component container, a new Assembly Instance is constructed from those and finally, the Assembly Instance is transported out to its next Process.
