Inventor: Break 3rd Party links to Simulation generated .fres file(s)

March 12, 2025 Kenneth Willingham

Applies to:
Inventor

Issue:
Part/Assembly files have 3rd Party file(s) linked to them causing restrictions. 

Causes:
Autodesk Inventor creates a .fres file upon completing a stress analysis simulation on a part/assembly. The file serves as a container for the results generated by the simulation. If OLE links are set to be created the .fres file is linked to the part/assembly.

Solution:
To Break Link between the part/assembly and its associated .fres file simulation results, follow the steps below. 
 
1.    On the ribbon select the Tools tab.
2.    Select Links from the Tools tab.
3.    Select Link to Break.
4.    Select Break Link and Done.
