MULTIPLE BODIES IN PART
MULTIPLE BODIES IN PART
(OP)
Hi,
I am modeling some off the shelf items that consists of seperate parts to make an assembly.
I can model all items and bring together in an assembly fine, but I would like to know if I can model all the components in 1 part? In Catia you can create multiple bodies in a part (not assy) and assign different attributes to each body. This would keep my filing sytem a lot cleaner!
Hope that was clear!

You can also cut a body up afterwards.
You can take an assembly and save it as a part, but it comes out all surfaces, I think.
You can join parts in an assembly into a single part, too.

i.e. The hinge will not be operable.

"You can take an assembly and save it as a part, but it comes out all surfaces, I think. "
Actually, when saving an assembly to part you have options to save all components (solid bodies), all exterior components (solid bodies again), or all exterior faces (surface bodies).

Then when you do a bill of materials on a drawing, the part number relates directly to the manufacturers specification, and there is no messing about with sub assembly items of something you're not really responsible for.
