Copy objects

To copy simulation objects, constraints, loads, manual contacts, and material overrides, do the following:

1. Right-click the browser node of the object and select Copy. Multi-select of the same object type is supported.
2. In the browser, right-click the simulation you want as the target for the paste action, and select Paste. Or, use the Paste command from the Edit menu.

Within the Copy command, the following applies:
