This is used to transform a body(movable) by picking three nodes/vertices on movable body and three nodes/vertices on fixed body such that the nodes/vertices on both bodies will be matching. This is applicable for both FEM and CAD bodies. The fixed and movable points can be defined using either nodes or vertices, but combination of it is not allowed.
