Supressing Objects from Simulation (SCDM License Only)

Suppressing an object means it will not be included when you transfer to Ansys for analysis.

  1. Right-click an object (solid, surface, beam, component) in the Structure tree, or select multiple objects and right-click
  2. Select Suppress for Physics.
    The objects are suppressed as indicated by the change in their icons.

To include suppressed objects in downstream analysis, right-click them in the Structure Tree and select Activate for Physics.

Legacy models used Hidden/Visible settings to determine what was transferred to Ansys for analysis. When these models are retrieved into session, the Suppress/Activate attribute will be set as follows.

  • Hidden objects in legacy models are Suppressed.
  • After first retrieval, there is no link between Visible and Active/Suppressed. These are totally independent things.
  • Beam Profile Parts are filtered out when searching for Suppressible objects..

Use the following commands to Hide/Show All Suppressed objects.

  • Hide All Suppressed
  • Show All Suppressed
