Pattern a solidbody, while drecreasing it's size

[staale]

Hi,

I have a question, I have not been able to solve yet. I'm looking to pattern a solid inside a multibodypart, while decreasing its size to fit inside.

Hope someone could help me with this, cause as usual tight deadline

See attached picture.

Have a look at iCopy. The help function gives you an example of a ladder which looks the same like your design.

Hi and thanks for reply.

ICopy aren't available in a Multibody, or am I missing something?

ICopy isn't available in multibody. But why are you creating this in multibody? In the real world this will be multiple parts, so why not create it that way?

The reason is that I wanted to run this in Dynamic Simulation, but you are correct, in the real world this would be multiple parts, but I do Make Componets of my multibody parts.
But it looks like it will be better to just make the shell a multibody and then use framemaker to add the stiffening girders inside the shell.
The multibody-parts can get to complicated when you add to many parts to it.

You can shinkwrap the assembly file if you need a simplified version of it, too.
