This feature is available for Creo View only.

You can use Smart Explode to explode parts, subassemblies, or groups to move them along a specified axis and coordinate system, from an anchor that you select in the 3D view. Each item in the Explode list is moved in the specified direction until its bounding box is clear of any parts not in the Explode list. You can explode parts individually or coupled together. You can view elements that are obscured, or create an assembly or disassembly sequence for training purposes with Smart Explode.
