Hello,
Simulate lets you perform analysis using symmetries (either cyclic or mirror). The problem is that in order to use symmetries, you have to create the part or assembly using Creo.
It should be cool if simulate allows you to cut or remove material from a non-creo model. In that way, you can simulate a turbine modeled in Catia or Solidworks using symmetries, avoiding that your computer fries with each blade.
That's all.

The feature recognition tool is under the "Get data"-menu, see picture below. For example, if you want to turn a fillet into a regular round-feature that you want to modify or delete, click "Search fillet", click on the fillet, and then "OK". Your model will appear identical, but in the model tree, you will see two new features. First a "remove"-feature that removes the fillet. Then you will see a new "round" that reproduces the previous fillet with a new parametric "Creo-round".
I mostly use it to delete fillets,chamfers etc. from an imported model. In such cases I first use the "feature recognition tool" and then I simply delete the round/chamfer etc. and keep only the "remove"-feature.
I hope it helps...

Yes it is, just tried it. Thanks for explaining Mads 
It even works okay, though it seems to have some quirks. Selecting a hole surface did not work, selecting an edge worked okay. (On a simple hole with straight surfaces on both ends, in what is a small but quite complex STEP file of a machined casted part).
