An FE Body can be created by the assembly of a mesh file into a subsystem. There are two ways to assemble the mesh file. One is to import the file from the Assembly feature of the FE Body as shown in the figure below and the other is to import it from the feature of a Beam FE Body.
This section will introduce how to create an FE Body by using the assembly feature. The FE Body can be created by defining the mesh file and its transformation as shown in the figure below and in the following table.
