About this tutorial

Learn how to prepare a model for analysis programs by removing unnecessary features.

Inventor Fusion provides tools to simplify models for CAE applications. Most models have small features, like fillets, that complicate the analysis. These features do not affect the model behavior, but they can add a significant amount of time for meshing and calculations.

Fusion has two tools for removing features from models:

• The Find Features command analyzes the geometry and creates features.
• The Simplify command provides filters for selecting fillet, chamfer, and hole features.

Preparing models analysis is usually a two-step process. The Simplify command requires features, so you must first convert the geometry with the Find Features command.
