Typically, most people just copy the PartBody in a CATPart and Paste As Result into a new part, to get a 'dumb' solid model (no history) that no one can modify.
However, it contains the complete part with all the internal features and walls.
You might want to delete or deactivate all the internal features first, and then do the Copy & Paste As Result to get 'dumb' solid of only the external shape.
Or extract the outside surfaces from the solid and Copy & Paste As Result just the surfaces.
My best guess is to make a special CATPart from your assembly, and only copy in the information you want to share outside of your company. Using the Paste As Result With Link will allow you to update this special part when your assembly has been modified.
I've never done 'wrapping' with DMU, but that sounds like it will do what you want, and I suggest exploring it more.
