Multibody parts in Ansys Workbench refer to a feature that allows users to create and analyze complex assemblies of multiple rigid bodies, such as mechanical parts or components. This feature is useful for simulating the interactions and movements of these bodies within an assembly.
To create multibody parts in Ansys Workbench, you can either use the Multibody Part feature or import existing CAD assemblies. The Multibody Part feature allows you to create and assemble bodies within the Workbench environment, while importing CAD assemblies allows you to use existing assemblies from other software.
Multibody parts in Ansys Workbench can be used for a variety of analyses, including static structural, modal, thermal, and dynamic analyses. These analyses can help determine the structural integrity, performance, and behavior of the assembly under different conditions.
Yes, you can edit individual bodies within a multibody part in Ansys Workbench. This feature allows you to make changes to specific bodies without affecting the rest of the assembly. You can also use the Combine Bodies feature to merge bodies or the Separate Bodies feature to split them.
While multibody parts in Ansys Workbench offer many benefits, there are some limitations to keep in mind. For example, you cannot use multibody parts for nonlinear or fluid analyses. Additionally, the number of bodies in an assembly may impact the simulation time and performance of the analysis.
