Replicate Mesh
Use the Replicate tool to replicate a mesh from one location to another, with options to keep the original mesh, as well as to replicate into multiple copies. The replicated elements replace the original elements, maintaining relevant information like properties, thicknesses, and other solver attributes.
This is useful when there are multiple instances of the same feature in a model. You may clean and prepare the mesh for just one of the instances, and then replicate those changes to the other locations. This is also useful for making design changes, such as moving a feature from one location to another or creating multiple instances of a feature.
