Bodies and Parts


A body is entirely made of one kind of material and is the basic building blocks of a model. A 3D body is either a solid body, a surface body, or a line body. A part is a collection of same type of bodies. All bodies in a part are assumed to be bonded together with one another. In <Mechanical>, parts are meshed independently A model may consist of one or more parts. In <Mechanical>, connections (contacts, joints) among parts must be established to complete a model.

This is the only geometric entities that will be attached to <Mechanical> for simulations.
