What is the meaning of “Fill Parts” in Autodyn?

      Fill parts are parts which are not associated with any solver. Such parts can be used for filling operations, for instance for filling a region into an Euler part using the “Parts -> Fill -> Part Fill” operation (the same fill operation can be also performed with a Lagrange part instead of a Fill part). Fill parts can be also used with Rigid coupling instead of Lagrange parts. Since no deformations and material response get computed during a rigid coupling simulation, it is fine to use Fill parts.
