Linking and excluding part instances for a co-simulation

For a co-simulation you may want to see the “whole” model involved in the co-simulation in a single viewport. To achieve this, you can link part instances in one model to part instances in the other model. For example, you can link part instances from the Abaqus/Standard model to part instances in the Abaqus/Explicit model. In this case, the linked part instances in the Abaqus/Standard model cannot be edited, their position is determined solely by the position of the part instance in the Abaqus/Explicit model, and they are available only for display purposes. Any changes to the part instances in the Abaqus/Explicit model are automatically updated in the linked part instances. You must exclude the linked part instances from the appropriate analysis; for example, the part instances in the Abaqus/Explicit model that are linked to the Abaqus/Standard model must be excluded from the Abaqus/Explicit analysis. For more information, see Linking part instances between models, and Excluding part instances from an analysis.
