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 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.
