Suppressing features

Context:

You cannot suppress the base feature. In addition, if you suppress parent features, all of their child features are also suppressed automatically. Suppressed features can be restored by selecting FeatureResume from the main menu bar or by clicking mouse button 3 on the feature in the Model Tree. When you resume a suppressed feature, its children are not resumed unless you select them. To help you select a feature's children, you can click mouse button 3 on the feature in the Model Tree and select Show children from the menu that appears.

From the main menu bar, select FeatureSuppress.
Tip: You can also suppress features using the tool located in the module toolbox.
Select one or more features to suppress. You can select features from the current viewport or from the Model Tree. For more information, see Selecting objects within the viewport,” and Working with the Model Tree and the Results Tree.
Abaqus/CAE highlights the selected feature. If you selected features that have child features, Abaqus/CAE also highlights the children.
If you selected features from the viewport, click Done in the prompt area when you are finished making selections.
If you selected features from the viewport, click Yes in the prompt area. If you selected features from the Model Tree, click mouse button 3 on one of the feature names and select Suppress from the menu that appears.
The selected features and any child features disappear from the viewport.
To exit the suppress procedure, either
- click the cancel button in the prompt area, or
- click mouse button 2 anywhere in the Abaqus/CAE window, or
- select another operation from the Feature menu.
