Defeature Silhouette Method for Parts

For parts, you can use the Silhouette defeature method to create a highly simplified part and make it associative to the parent part. This functionality also exists 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.
