Base Panel: Delete

Description

Deletes selected entities (elements, links, nodes, geometry faces, paths) and associated attributes (e.g., forces, temperatures, pressures, distributed loads, restraints and so on) from the model.

Delete with options

Opens a dialog with the following options.

• Entities

  Deletes selected entities (elements, links, nodes, geometry, paths) and their attributes from the model.

• Attributes only

  Deletes only attributes applied to the selected entities, based on the following options:

  • Current case

    Deletes case-dependent attributes such as node forces, face pressures, restraints, etc., from the active load and freedom cases only.

  • All cases

    Deletes case-dependent attributes such as node forces, face pressures, restraints, etc., from all load and freedom cases.

  • Case independent

    Deletes only the case-independent attributes such as node translational mass, plate edge release, string group, in-situ stress, etc.

  • All

    Removes both case-dependent and case-independent attributes from all load and freedom cases.

• Delete free nodes

  If set, nodes that are left not connected to any other entities after entity deletion are also removed from the model.
