I don't believe that I specifically set up linking groups in my model, but somehow components have been grouped into groups with names like "Default Group 20000101". How could this have happened? Is it somehow related to the fact that this model was created in HS 6 and them imported into HS 7.0.35?
In any case, I would like to re-assign components to groups to reflect real manufacturing variables that I would like to link (like core thickness). If I try to delete the current (incorrect) groups, it appears that the information for preferred concept, optimization bounds, and material choices are cleared and need to be reset. Are component-specific buckling spans and options also reset in this process? Is there a way to preserve this information while re-assigning components to new linking groups?
