      <p class="para_topic">By defining the right kinematics components, you can simplify the process of replacing the machine on which a particular part is mounted with a different machine. You need to do two things:</p>
      <ol type="1" start="1">
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">As you create a machine in the <b class="uiTerm">Machine Tool Builder</b> that you want to use in simulation, create a K-component on the most dependent table component. Its name is irrelevant, but you need to classify it as <b class="uiTerm">_PART</b>. To it, add a junction where you would like a part to be positioned. Its name is also irrelevant, but make sure there is only one junction in the K-component.
            </p>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">In the manufacturing part, edit the machine model &nbsp;(perhaps it is the default GENERIC_MACHINE) using the <b class="uiTerm">Setup Configurator</b> and add a K-component and junction the same way.
