Grounding Subassemblies doubt

[admaiora]

Hi,

 not sure about this behavior.

If a have subassembly, jointed with a Rigid Group Joint but still ungrounded, in theory if i will ground the whole subassembly itself, the container component i should ground all the components joined in the rigid group, (this is true for the most MFG parametric softwares).

Not sure if i wrong something or Fusion was designed with that purpose.

Two things:

1. You need to ground one component in your assembly. Grounding the assembly itself is not going to do a thing.
2. When you have created a rigid group of al the components in your assembly including the grounded componet everyting should remain firmly in place.

If you want to assemble two subassemblies using a rigid group the "Include child components"  check box currently does not work (It's a reported bug and it's being worked at!).

As a workaround you simply rigid-group all the components in each your subassembleis and then rigid group one component of each subassembly.

Thank you Trippy for the answer.

I am aware of the Include Child option and of if you ground one of  the components of the subassembly you will ground all, as i have done in the video too.

Clarified that this it's like this, i think that this behavior need to be improved. If the user ground a container, an entire subassembly, well the entire subassembly need to be ground, without the need to go inside the subassembly and ground a random component.

I am not sure I necessarily agree.

It might be more intuitive based on pre-conceptions of how this works in other software packages, however, if that's the right thing to do is another question.

I did not say you should ground a random component. If you apply some rationale to what component should be grounded then it's not random and can convey design intent better than grounding the container, which is really just a virtual means of organizin and subgrouping components. If you've got components that are clled chassis or base plate and these are grounded I find that intuitive.

An imprvement is necessary in either case, becasue if you ground a component within a subassembly you don't see that if the brwse unless you drill down to the level of that component.
