Variant Model Reduction
R2026bVariant reduction is the process of extracting a subset of variant configurations from a parent model into a standalone model. Variant Reducer removes inactive model components and produces a self-contained output folder with the reduced model and its dependencies. The reduced model does not contain the inactive variant choices, making it simpler to navigate, deploy, and share with teams that do not need access to the full set of design alternatives.
