How to maintain Part Positions in an Assembly after a 'Motion Study' in SolidWorks?
Hello,
I am currently working on a packed column model in SolidWorks. The column comprises a packing material consisting of numerous beads (or other packing types such as Raschig rings) initially positioned outside and above the column. To achieve a random packing configuration, I utilized SolidWorks Motion Study. By defining contacts between parts and enabling gravity forces, the beads descend and fill the column randomly, as depicted in the attached file (including the assembly, parts, and screenshots). Now, I aim to maintain the positions of these beads once I transition from the Motion Study tab to the Model tab. Does anyone have a solution for this?
Thank you.

I finally found a solution to this question, we have to choose "Make assembly from assembly" from file menu, and then, when a new assembly is created, we have to right-click on the Assembly, and choose "Desolve assembly" to break the link with the original one.
