FEKO: merging transformations into the model

How do you merge transformations (translations, scaling, rotating,etc) into the model so that the model remains intact without transformations included?

    When you convert to primitive you loose all the CAD history, as I mentioned.

    I am not aware of any other way to "remove" the transformations history you have performed on a geometry part.

    Hi @Troy_S,

    You can convert the geometry part (or parts) to which the transformations were applied into primitive (Right click on part > Apply > Convert to Primitive). With this the history of the CAD model is removed, including the transformations.

    Best Regards,

    Thanks for you help, but it appears that I don't have that option in our v2022. Please see screenshot attached.

    Ok, I found the "Convert to primitive" in the Transform > Alter menu bar and tried it.

    It appears to do the same as Exporting the object to a .STP file and then Importing it back in (which is what I was doing up till now).

    However, I would like to keep the basic geometry properties like Base Corner, Width, Depth, Height, etc. It appears that primitive parts don't have these properties.
