Points reference frame

Hello,

I am relatively new to Altair and MotionView,

In the course of making analysis more modular, I find it useful to define points and markers (reference frames) referent to specific bodies.

In the documentation, it appears that points are always defined in the global reference frame.

How do I make it so, if I decide to change a geometry position (or a body position) an arbitrary point related to that body changes as well? In my simulation I used math expressions to define the point's coordinates with respect to the reference frame of the body. But this does not seem easily scalable. Are there better ways to to this?
