Assemblies in COSMOS Help

If I have a fully constrained assembly, like a bike frame, can anyone
tell me how I can somehow simplify or merge the components into a
single skin so COSMOS Express can mesh it and run my solution?

I know how to do it in SolidEdge, but that doesn't help be
here...please show me the way...

Thanks in Advance

Save as part (2k4+, not sure if 2k3, sure not 2k1+), or if older SW, insert
a part and use a joint feature.

You can join the parts and then run COSMOS Express on that part. Look up
JOIN in the help, or go to http://www.kcswug.com/documents/articles/ and
grab the article named Join SW.doc. It was written for SW2003, but still
pretty much applies to today's versions.
