You want to bring both of these into the same DesignModeler model. Follow these steps:  1) Open model 1 in DesignModeler 2) Use &#8216;Create->Delete->Body Delete&#8217; for all bodies except for body A 3) Now use &#8216;File->Export&#8217; to save the body A as neutral CAD format (either .x_t or .stp are best) 4) Now open model 2 in DesignModeler 5) Use &#8216;Create->Delete->Body Delete&#8217; for all bodies except for body B 6) Use &#8216;File->Import External Geometry&#8217; to import body A into the model  Now you have body A from model 1 and body B from model 2 together in the same DesignModeler session.
