Ansys Part Names

Workbench applications only support flat (single-level) assemblies. An Ansys part is created for each SpaceClaim part, at any level in the assembly. This part contains bodies that are visible and match the import filters set in Ansys. The filters are Import Solid Bodies, Import Surface Bodies, and Import Line Bodies.

In Ansys DesignModeler, multi-bodied parts are parts (components) that contain more than one body (solid, surface, or line body). For example, for two surface or two solids to share topology, they must be placed in a multi-bodied part.

Ansys Mechanical allows a maximum of two assembly levels. You can have components inside components, but nothing deeper.

If you send a component with two or more bodies into Ansys Mechanical, then it shows up as a part with multiple bodies in it (multi-bodied part).

If you send a component with two or more bodies into Ansys DesignModeler, then everything becomes flat.

When you send a SpaceClaim assembly to Ansys Mechanical, it also gets flattened to 2 levels.
