Regeneration Failure and Design Configurations

Part Modeling > Part Modeling > Resolving Regeneration Failures > Regeneration Failure and Design Configurations

Regeneration failures affect the functionality of Family Tables, Inheritance Features, and Simplified Representations.

• Family Tables

When a generic model has one or more failed features, it becomes a failed model. You cannot perform the following operations:

◦ Verify the instances in the Family Table dialog box

◦ Preview an instance

◦ Create or update accelerator files for an instance

You cannot create or update accelerator files for an instance when the generic model has Failed or Child of Failed features.

• Inheritance Features

You cannot use a failed model as the base model for a new inheritance feature or to replace the base model of an existing inheritance feature. When one or more of the members of an inheritance feature fail to regenerate, the results are as follows:

Regeneration Result	Inheritance Feature Status
One or more failed member features	Failed
One or more child of failed member features and no failed member features	Child of Failed
One or more child-of-external-failed member features, no failed features, and no child of failed member features	Child of External Failed

• Simplified Representations

You can exclude a Failed, Child of Failed, or Child of External Failed feature from an active representation. The feature becomes inactive, but the icon, font, and color of the feature name in the Model Tree are maintained.
