After starting an update, you can interrupt, or cancel the process. Be aware that not all processes can be interrupted and some processes that are interruptible may have periods where they cannot be interrupted. Because some processes can stop cleanly only at certain checkpoints, the delay between the interrupt request and the actual interruption can sometimes be lengthy.
Note: The only Ansys Mechanical systems that can be interrupted are Static Structural and Transient Structural.
To interrupt an update process:
To open the Progress pane, select > from the menu bar.
To the right of the process you want to interrupt, click
.The following dialog box displays:
Select from the following options:
: Stops the update at the next point where data can be safely stored for later use.
: Stops the update immediately without checking if data associated with the current action can be stored.
When an update is interrupted, the state of the Solution cell becomes Interrupted, Update Required.
