Deleting Details
The holes that now remain in the back of the enclosure for the connections do not have a cylindrical cross section. You can delete them using the Replace Faces tool, which is suitable for deleting various geometric details that may not be important for a simulation. In addition to the holes for the connections, use this tool to delete some of the mounting details from the bottom part of the enclosure.

Using this tool you can delete larger geometric details, and the resulting gap is automatically healed by one of two methods: the surrounding faces are grown or shrunken to cover the gap; a new face is constructed based on the edges of the gap.
Add the boundaries of the holes to the Faces to replace list in the Tools window for Replace Faces. The easiest to do this is as follows.
