class UPhysicsAsset :  
    public UObject,  
    public IInterface_PreviewMeshProvider

Remarks

PhysicsAsset contains a set of rigid bodies and constraints that make up a single ragdoll. The asset is not limited to human ragdolls, and can be used for any physical simulation using bodies and constraints. A SkeletalMesh has a single PhysicsAsset, which allows for easily turning ragdoll physics on or off for many SkeletalMeshComponents The asset can be configured inside the Physics Asset Editor.
