View Assembly Structure Tool
The View Assembly Structure tool 
allows you to see how the assembly will appear
when transferred downstream to Ansys Workbench. When
transferred, the assembly may be structured differently because bodies sharing topology
must belong to the same part in order to be meshed conformally. When bodies share
topology, SpaceClaim will group them by their nearest common
parent component. If no common parent component exists among the shared bodies, then the
entire assembly will be transferred as a single multi-body part.
The image below shows a simple assembly structure in SpaceClaim. Topology is shared as follows in this assembly.
- Bodies B and C share topology
- Bodies E and F share topology
When you click the View Assembly Structure tool, The Transfer Assembly Structure dialog opens as shown below.
Because bodies B and C share topology and they do not belong to the same component, they must be grouped into the same part at their nearest common parent, which is SubAssembly1. This pulls other bodies into the multi-body part which do not participate in sharing, such as body G.
Bodies E and F are already contained in the same component, so they would transfer under Component3 as a multi-body part.
