How to duplicate a model and its associated FE entities in one move

I have an assembly with repeated sub assemblies located at different positions. I would like to duplicate a subsystem that contains all its associated FEM entities including contacts/set segments etc.

I imported a subsystem of interested a second time and then translated it to its correct position however there are no associated groups or set segments for this 2nd sub system.

Is there a convenient function that copies/translates everything in one move and takes care of node numbering and ID's etc?

 

Thanks in advance

    Hi,

    Current only the following is supported for translation.

    Elements, components, nodes and systems.

     

    However one way I can think of is saving the HM file and importing it back again on existing model.
