Definition

A component represents a specific part or group of parts within your product. These parts can be considered as a whole or as separate units, depending on how they are structurally and functionally integrated into the overall product. For example, a gearbox can be considered a component that consists of a housing and two shafts. Each shaft can then be considered a separate component that consists of the shaft itself and several gears. This detailed capture enables a comprehensive analysis and evaluation of the individual parts in the context of the overall product.
