About Opening Multibodied Parts and Assemblies with Virtual and Internal Components
You can open Autodesk Inventor, CATIA V5, SolidWorks, and NX parts that contain multibodies in Creo. The internal components of CATIA V4 and SolidWorks assemblies can also contain multibodies. In addition to parts and components with multibodies, you can open SolidWorks assemblies with virtual components and CATIA V4 *.model assemblies with internal components.
The non-Creo part and assembly models with different configurations open as follows in Creo:
• Autodesk Inventor, CATIA V5, SolidWorks, and NX part models with multibodies open as non-Creo parts with embedded components..
• Multibodies of part models open as individual solid bodies within the parts that contain the multibodies.
• The virtual components of SolidWorks assemblies open as the internal components of the non-Creo assembly models.
• The internal components of CATIA V4 *.model assemblies remain as internal components of the non-Creo assemblies.
• The components of Autodesk Inventor, SolidWorks, and NX assembly models that are intersected by the assembly-level features such as cuts, holes, and rounds from the source CAD systems open as the internal components of the non-Creo assemblies.
• The instances of the components that are intersected by the assembly-level features from the source CAD systems are assembled as the hidden instances of the components in the non-Creo assemblies.
The multibodies, virtual and internal components, and the components that are intersected by the assembly-level features are contained in the part and assembly container models that you open in Creo.
