The Assembly module

You use the Assembly module to create and modify the assembly. A model contains one main assembly, which is composed of instances of parts from the model as well as instances of other models. The tutorial in Using Additional Techniques to Create and Analyze a Model in Abaqus/CAE contains examples of how you use the Assembly module to create part instances and position them relative to each other in a global coordinate system.
