Reply To: Convert Multibody CAD import into Parts for improved Contact/Joint creation

Here is the screen snapshot of the Explode Part feature in DesignModeler. I wish I could do that in Mechanical instead of having to go out to DesignModeler.

You must do this operation at the beginning of the model building process. If you do it after creating some contacts or joints, they will all lose the selected geometry after the Explode Part and will have to be repaired.

I expect there is similar functionality in SpaceClaim, but I have not looked for that yet.
