SpaceClaim Part and Body Names in Ansys

In Simulation, the Geometry node represents the assembly, and nodes immediately beneath that represent parts. If a part has more than one body, then child nodes are shown for each body, but if there is only one body, no child nodes are shown. This is based on the number of bodies transferred, which is subject to visibility and filters.

For a multi-body part Ansys Mechanical displays the part name on the part node and the body name on the body node, but for a single-body part Ansys displays a combined name on the part node, in the form <Part name> (<body name>). For example, Wheel (Solid).

The image above shows an assembly in SpaceClaim on the left and the same assembly in Ansys on the right. Component 1 is displayed as a single-body part in Ansys and component 3 is moved to the root level.

Component instance names are not transferred.
