Creating an Optimization Feature as a Result of Design Studies
When you conduct an optimization or feasibility study, you can capture the study in an Optimization feature.
To create an Optimization feature, click File > Make Feature in the Optimization/Feasibility dialog box.
* 
In addition to saving a design study as a feature, you can also save the study with all its settings by selecting File > Save from the Optimization/Feasibility dialog box. You can later retrieve a previously saved study with its settings and click Compute to solve the study.
The Optimization feature is a very powerful feature. After you add an Optimization feature, it appears on the Model Tree and solves the corresponding design study each time you regenerate the model.
Consider the following aspects of the Optimization feature:
Including an Optimization feature in your model may significantly add to the regeneration time.
Each time you regenerate, Creo Parametric initiates the study and applies its results. If you set the Optimization feature attribute RegenRequest to Read Only, the model does not get optimized, and the regeneration time does not increase.
As a result of optimization, only geometry created prior to the Optimization feature can change.
In a model, you cannot create more than one optimization feature. In an assembly, you cannot create an optimization feature at the assembly level, if there is an optimization feature in any of its parts or subassemblies.

If you suppress the existing optimization feature, you can create a new optimization feature.
