Delete Unused Information

DVTI_DeleteUnusedInformation Delete Unused Information will only remove unused or duplicate points and mesh, which are not necessary for the analysis of this model. Points and 3DCS mesh, which is used in moves, measures, tolerances and related lists will be kept. This function is useful when a large model has to be analyzed. Cleaning unused entities will considerably lessen the overall model size and may improve time taken to simulate a model.
