Solid body resides within a design 2. A design can be designated as a component, which resides within an&#8230; 3. Assembly (or subassembly if part of a larger assembly)  The most important thing is to define your assemblies using constraints such as Align and Orient. This will prevent all of the unintended moving.  It&#8217;s possible to move a solid body within its own frame of reference (relative to its own coordinate system). If you do this, and your assembly is not held together by constraints, you&#8217;ll see the body move around in the assembly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-171002","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-18-1","topic-tag-ansys-spaceclaim-directmodeler","topic-tag-fluid-dynamics","topic-tag-preprocessing-geometry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_wp_page_template":["default"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2\/6\/2023 20:20"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27796"],"_bbp_author_ip":["209.182.204.162"],"_btv_view_count":["840"],"siebel_km_number":["2051081"],"product_version":["18.1"],"km_published_date":["2017-08-23T00:00:00.000Z"],"family":["Fluid Dynamics"],"application_name":["ANSYS SpaceClaim DirectModeler"]},"test":"articlesansys-com"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/171002","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/171002\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=171002"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
