Fix positions in Assembly

Fix positions in Assembly

Fix positions in Assembly

(OP)
Hello everybody,

I modelled an assembly within Abaqus CAE which consists out of many single components.
For this, I used many constrains as face2face and so on.

Now, if I change any components due to design changes, I need to either replace or delete the old instance in the assembly.

If I do so, all connected parts obviously lose their constrains and are flying around in space.

Then I have to arrange all of them again.

Therefore the question: is it possible to fix every position of each single part in the assembly, so that even by deleting the given constraints, the position wont change?


kind regards!
