In multi-body modeling, you may want to have each design body reside in an individual file. There are a number of reasons for this.

• Account for the design body as a unique part number in an assembly bill of materials

• Flatten a sheet metal model

• Reuse the individual model in another context

• Build an assembly from the multi-body part models

• Apply assembly features on all bodies

Use the Multi-body Publish command to write each design body of a multi-body file into a separate file. The command also provides the option to create an assembly using the multi-body published parts.
