Block model

Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-000618

A simplified three-dimensional digital representation of a product or system, constructed from basic geometric solids like cubes and cylinders. Block models define the overall size, mass, and spatial relationships of components without including fine details, serving as placeholders in a larger assembly. They are used in the early design stages for layout planning, interference checking, and conceptual analysis before detailed design begins.
