Hello
I have two examples, I want to how I can simplify this items and reduce file size to use it in my main assembly to check intereference and how does it fit and work in my main assembly, there are bought out item so only mounting details and outer geometry is important.
thanks

Hello,
I have one more example, this is 3MB file , I want to reduce it file size keeping all the holes and mounting surface as it is.
thanks and Regards

If the imported file has many bodies delete any unnecessary bodies. Then I'd suggest extruding solid blocks/shapes over any complicated features to simplify the outer geometry. Once you are done with that export to a parasolid or other dumb format and re-import it so that it just has the single import feature. Hopefully that will work for you.
If it is an imported assembly - open the assembly and save it as a part file and then save it like Jamil mentioned (parasolid or other .....)
Do a few different save as and find out which is the smallest size
Thanks Jamil and John,
Cureently I am doing the same thing as you said but I wonder if there are any other faster methods using surfacing commands to remove all fillets and unnecessary features in casted parts.
One thing that popped into my head that might work is to run automatic feature recognition and see if it ends up creating features that you can delete from the tree. However feature recognition usually isn't that great so I don't have high hopes for that method.
