Defeaturing, as the term suggests, is to remove certain modeling features from a solid model. You can choose to defeature a solid model if it contains many modeling abstractions which may not be required for a finite element analysis. Some of these features may include text engravings, part numbers, small holes, fillets, grooves etc. In this video, you will learn how to defeature a solid model with the tools available in V6.
