Defeature Silhouette Method for Parts

For single body and multibody parts, you can use the Silhouette defeature method to create a highly simplified part and make it associative to the parent part.

In previous releases, the Silhouette defeature method was available only for assemblies. You define groups of bodies and then define a simplification method for these groups.

You can retain a link to the original model so if you update the original, the defeatured model is updated. In the Results PropertyManager tab, when you select Create a new configuration, in the ConfigurationManager, you can right-click the defeature configuration and select Edit Defeature or Update Defeature.

To access the Silhouette defeature method, in a part, click Tools > Defeature and under Defeature Method, click Silhouette .

Click or to navigate the modes and finalize the defeature process.
