Multibody Parts

You can initialize and mesh solid multibody geometries that you transfer from SOLIDWORKS simulation studies to 3DEXPERIENCE analysis cases. The multibody geometries must originate in a SOLIDWORKS part file.

The Linear Structural Validation app supports solid multibody geometries for meshing. The app does not support surface bodies.

The Structural Model Creation app continues to support both solid bodies and surface bodies for meshing, including multibody geometry. After you initialize the mesh, the app creates a FEM representation, which includes mesh information for each body within each part in the design.
