When Delete is the selected action, the following options are available.
Object | Type | Description |
| | Allows for deletion of multiple types of finite element entities at once. Related nodes, element properties, load and boundary conditions, results and groups may become unreferenced due to deletion. |
| | Deletes the mesh seed definitions from the specified edges. |
| | Deletes the mesh control applied to a surface. |
Mesh | | Deletes the mesh from the specified surfaces. |
| Deletes the mesh from the specified curves. |
| Deletes the mesh from the specified solids. |
| | Deletes the specified nodes. Element corner nodes will not be deleted. Related load and boundary conditions, results are disassociated with the deleted nodes but they are not deleted. Any nodes associated with a DOF list will be removed from the nodes portion of the DOF list term. A toggle is provided to delete empty groups due to the deletion. |
| | Deletes the specified elements. Nodes, element properties, load and boundary conditions, results and groups are disassociated with the deleted elements but they are not deleted. A toggle is provided to delete related nodes and empty groups due to the deletion. |
| | Deletes the multi‑point constraints. Nodes and groups are disassociated with the deleted MPCs but they are not deleted. A toggle is provided to delete related nodes and empty groups due to the deletion. |
Connector | | Deletes the connectors. |
| | Deletes the superelements. |
| | Deletes the specified degree-of-freedom (DOF) lists. |
Delete - Any
Use this form to delete multiple types of finite element entities at one time. Any combination of elements, nodes, and multi-point constraints may be selected for deletion. When deleting elements and nodes, the mesh on curves, surfaces and solids may also be deleted. However, mesh seeds can only be deleted through the Delete/Mesh Seed menu. Nodes, element properties, loads and boundary conditions, results and groups may become unreferenced due to deletion. Toggles are provided to delete unreferenced nodes and empty groups due to the delete operation.
Delete - Mesh Seed
Use this form to delete an existing mesh seed definition for a list of specified edges. The edges may be curves, or edges of surfaces or solids. When deletion is complete, a report appears in the command line indicating the number and IDs of the edges which were deleted.
Note: | The abort key may be pressed at any time to halt the delete process, and the Undo button may be used to restore the deleted mesh seed definitions to their respective edges. |
Delete - Mesh (Surface)
Use this form to delete an existing mesh of nodes and elements applied to one or more surfaces, or solid faces. When deletion is complete, a report appears in the command line indicating the number and IDs of the entities from which meshes were deleted.
Note: | The abort key may be pressed at any time to halt the delete process, and the Undo button may be used to restore the deleted mesh of nodes and elements. |
Delete - Mesh (Curve)
Use this form to delete an existing mesh of nodes and elements applied to one or more curves, or surface or solid edges.
Delete - Mesh (Solid)
Use this form to delete an existing mesh of nodes and elements applied to one or more solids.
Delete - Mesh Control
Delete - Node
.Use this form to delete existing nodes from the model database. Element corner nodes will not be deleted. Related loads and boundary conditions, results and groups are disassociated with the deleted nodes but they are not deleted. Any nodes associated with a DOF list will be removed from the nodes portion of the DOF list term. A toggle is provided to delete groups that become empty due to the deletion of the nodes. When deletion is complete a report appears in the command line indicating the number and IDs of the nodes deleted.
Note: | The abort key may be pressed at any time to halt the delete process and the Undo button may be used to restore the deleted nodes and groups. |
Delete - Element
Use this form to delete existing elements from the model database. Related nodes, element properties, loads and boundary conditions, results and groups are disassociated from the deleted elements, but they are not deleted. A toggle is provided to delete all related nodes and empty groups due to the deletion of elements
Note: | The abort key may be pressed at any time to halt the delete process, and the Undo button may be used to restore the deleted elements and related nodes and groups. |
Delete - MPC
Use this form to delete an existing multi-point constraint (MPC) from the database. Related nodes and groups are disassociated from the deleted MPCs, but they are not deleted. A toggle is provided to delete all related nodes and empty groups due to the deletion of the MPCs.
Note: | The abort key may be selected at any time to halt the delete process, and the Undo button may be used to restore the deleted MPCs and related nodes and groups. |
Delete - Connector
Use this form to delete a connector from the database. Related nodes and groups are disassociated from the deleted connector, but they are not deleted. A toggle is provided to delete all related nodes and empty groups due to the deletion of the connector.
Delete - Superelement
Use this form to delete superelements from the database. Note that this is currently available only for the MSC Nastran analysis preference.
Delete - DOF List
Use this form to delete degree-of-freedom (DOF) lists from the database. Note that this is currently available only for the ANSYS and ANSYS 5 analysis preference.
