Using
the Defeature Silhouette method, you can create a set of rules to simplify the components in
a model.
You can specify criteria for component selection, defeature method, and a defeature
orientation. You can enclose the components in one body and propagate visual
properties.
For
example, you can create a rule to simplify fasteners as cyclinders when the filename
for a fastener contains bolt, nut, or washer.
You can save the rule set to use with other models. You can specify a file location
for saved rule sets. You can use a rule set with a defeature group to defeature a
model.
