Working with Assemblies
A fixed body can still transfer contact interactions to touching parts...To fix a portion of a body, use the Fixed Geometry option in Fixture PropertyManager...The body can move to the extent allowed by its fixtures and connections to other parts

simulation features you can import are: body types (solids, shells, and beams), material, contact, connectors, fixtures, loads, and mesh control definitions...Fixtures...Imports all fixture definitions
Rigid Bodies
However, it is recommended to treat a body as rigid rather than excluding it from analysis or replacing it by fixtures/loads because contact
