OS-E: 0700 Subcase Specific Model Change using 3-Rings
Demonstrates subcase specific model change feature. In this model, there are 3 rings of different sizes, Component A is the smallest ring, Component B is the middle ring, and Component C is the largest ring.

- Red
- Blue
- Yellow
In the first subcase, the interface fit between ring A and B, and removing ring C is simulated.
In the second subcase, the status from the previous subcase is carried over; in addition, the external layer elements from ring B is removed.
