The Make Multibody Part
tool converts an entire assembly into
a separate, single multibody part that is linked to the parent assembly.
The multibody part reflects all the assembly features that you create in the parent
assembly. Features that you create on the multibody part will not be reflected in the
parent assembly. You can perform post-assembly operations on the multibody part, such as
material removal, and these appear in downstream platform applications.
To create a multibody part, in an
assembly, click .
The
Make
Multibody Part
feature appears in the FeatureManager
® design tree. Solid bodies are
transferred by default. You can decide which other assembly entities to transfer such as
surface bodies, reference geometry, and materials. Under the
Make Multibody Part feature, the tool groups the entities into folders
that show the number of instances.
All the bodies in the multibody part
inherit their names from the assembly. They also match the position of the parts
relative to the origin in the parent assembly. You can choose the configuration to
create the multibody part.
