Can you provide the part file or at least a picture/sketch of what it looks like and what aspects of it are instanced? BTW, are you using 'Pattern Feature' or some other function to create the instances?

Sorry I am not able to share part file. But I am using instance geometry feature to create instances. One sing feature created as a involute shape and created 30 circular instances.

Thanks for your prompt reply

A picture or something would be a big help. Also some indication as to what it is that you're deforming.
