To Remove Bodies
As part of multibody design, there could be bodies that you want to remove from the model. For example, you created bodies as tools in the design process and you do not need them in the final model, or the system created bodies when you imported geometry from other models. You cannot delete these bodies, because they have contributing features. In these cases, you can use the
