In this task, you are going to use the Cavity
Extraction command to create a Cavity Extraction feature. The Cavity
Extraction feature will be placed into a new body, and will reference an
existing body (the source Body). The Cavity feature creates a protected
volume, so to visualize the geometry a Cavity shape feature will be created
in the new Body. The Cavity Extraction feature produces geometry useful in defining a cavity plate for molding the source Body. The output is associative, meaning if the source Body changes, the Cavity Extraction geometry will automatically change. The output geometry includes the Cavity, Added, and Protected volumes, as well as the unshelled portions of the Shellable volumes. Features can be excluded, and an optional Extraction Properties feature can be used to omit Protected volumes. |

When you create a Cavity Extraction selecting a Body as Source body on a part which has multiple added/removed bodies or assembled bodies, in this example, the extraction will be generated on the Body (in this case, Solid Functional Set.1) in the first position of the selected Body.
