Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A model (e.g., mechanical computer-aided design (MCAD) model) representing an assembly is displayed in a graphical user interface (GUI). The assembly contains at least a first body and a second body. The physics type of the model is determined in response to an assignment of a physics condition to the first body and/or the second body. Contact-pairs are detected in the model according to the determined physics type. The GUI is updated to indicate where the contact-pairs are located in the model for revision of the contact-pairs. Markers are shown in the GUI to represent corresponding contact-pairs. Markers are logically separated from bodies and faces in the model. The revision of the contact-pairs can be managed with a filtering mechanism either by bodies/faces or by markers.
