Saves the less-detailed part or assembly in a separate
part file. The part has no references to the original part or
assembly. For the Silhouette method, a Group
folder for
each defeature group shows in the FeatureManager design tree. If you select
Merge groups after this
step when defining groups, the folder name is
Merged. The folders
contain a feature for each body generated by the
simplification.
For the Simplify Geometry
method, the part file has Defeatured1
features.
If you specified to allow motion in an
assembly, the model is saved as an assembly. Each group that you
defined on the Motion
page is saved as a virtual component in the less-detailed
assembly.
Select Link to Original to link the
defeatured model to the original model. You can link, unlock, or
break the external reference by right-clicking the model and
clicking External
References. See Locking and Breaking External References.
