Support for multibodies in Nastran In-CAD

[Anonymous]

I find it easier to create models as multibodies when my purpose is buliding a quick test case for debugging or benchmarking my simulation.

Currently, if I need to experiment simulations involving more than one body, I need to create an assembly in Inventor.

Please add support for multibodies like in Fusion 360:

Or Inventor Professional Simulation:

Would speed up simulation debugging work very significantly.

For me is the same problem in Solidworks.

I need a products from different materials. Multibodies are very handy.

When I make a assembly from multibody and after simulation change the geometry  sometimes Nastran InCad  forget's some simulation information (like load sets or custom plot sets).

I have the same issues. Autodesk Simulation Mechanical treated multi-body parts the same as it would an assembly when imported from inventor. I would drive a fab assembly into a multi-body part and do my pre-processing in inventor to streamline my design workflow. This method is very difficult to implement in Nastran In-Cad due to the lack of Post-Processing support for multi-bodies.

Would also be extremely useful for modelling thick composite laminates.
