I'd like to apologize in advance for how bad I'm explaining this problem. I can't find a better way:
I'm currently doing a FEA analysis of a structure, so I have have the following files:
-structure's assembly file
-fem file (with mesh)
-sim file (with loads & constraints)
-3rd file of which I don't know the name.
Now in that third file you can promote bodies and delete holes/edges/etc to prepare your assembly for proper meshing/calculating.
In that file, I "promote body"-ed several sheet metal parts, created a mid-surface, which is then used for 2D meshing.
Now, in my original assembly, I changed the length of several of those sheets, and, although the position of the attached items in the assembly has changed, the length of the item itself didn't.
However, when I double click on the promote body and either break the associativity or convert to a linked body, the length of the sheet changes to what it should be.
As I would rather NOT break associativity, how am I supposed to make get this to work properly?
see added sketch for more info. Hope it helps
