A flexible component is defined as a part that is displayed in different geometric representations and can be included in an assembly in its various states. With flexible component functionality, designers can create a variation of a part to represent its assembly state without modifying it; therefore part number and quantity in the bill of material remain correct. Subassemblies can be made flexible, too.
