Use the Assemblies panel to create and modify assemblies, which are collections of component and multibody collectors or other assemblies. This method of grouping component and multibody collectors is useful because once an assembly is created, it is possible to display components or multibodies by assembly, or to select entities by assembly rather than by component.
To view a tree of the assembly structure in the model, use the Model browser.
There are no subpanels on the Assemblies panel. All inputs and command buttons are located on the main panel.
