Multi-Body Part vs. Assembly

David Suelflow Oct 4, 2012 2:37 PM

I’m not sure how to search for this so forgive me if it’s been asked before.

If I have two models that are geometrically identical but one is a Multi-Body Part and the other is an assembly, is there a difference in how a static simulation is resolved?

I don't believe there is, but I am not completely sure.

None is absolutely the right answer...unless you are trying to use at least one of the connector types. Bolt connector is useless in multibody part and useful in the equivalent assembly(true/false?)

  I stand corrected...bolt connector is supported in multi body part. I got a little happy with the absolutes saying they are useless. What I should have said is they are less useful in multiple body part, since hole series is not supported, and the ability to have simulation auto-recognize the series and make a connector for each one by itself.
