Simplifying assemblies

In this recipe, you will use the Simplify tool to create a simplified model of a complex assembly, reduce processing time, and protect intellectual property.

The advantages of using the Simplify tool in your workflows are as follows:

  • Reduces the file size and complexity of large assemblies
  • Reduces the opening times of complex assemblies
  • Filters relevant design data
  • Protects intellectual property by removing internal components
  • Improves performance

The Simplify command enables you to create a part from an assembly by specifying the components and features you want to remove individually or by using one of the built-in presets within the Simplify tool.

Getting ready

To begin this recipe, you will need to open the Shaft Gear Motor2.iam file located in the Chapter 7 folder within the Inventor Cookbook 2023 folder.
