Gasket

Defines the gasket mesh control beneath the Mesh object when the Body object's Stiffness Behavior is set to Flexible. This can be applied to multiple bodies, so it may be a more convenient approach to setting up the gaskets if there are many gasket bodies. The MultiZone mesh method is used for this approach.
