Every item (Solid, Surface, Curve, etc) can be moved inside of a model. This affects its position relative to its own coordinate system. In the assembly, you mostly deal with the main coordinate system. However, if you open a single component and move the solid body, you may notice a change in the position within the assembly. This can be prevented by defining assembly conditions like Align, Orient, and Tangent in order to reduce the degrees of freedom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-158653","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-ansys-fluent","topic-tag-assembly","topic-tag-component","topic-tag-design","topic-tag-move"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 4.9.10 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"1.
