Replacing Systems

You can replace an existing system with different type of system. This functionality is available only from systems that use the Mechanical application.


Note:  If you use Replace With to replace a Mechanical system that has a Section Data cell with another Mechanical system, the new environment is added and the original Mechanical environment (including boundary conditions and results) is deleted.


To replace a system:

  1. Right-click the system header and select Replace With from the context menu.

  2. From the list of all system types that are available to replace the existing system, select a new system.


Note:  The units setting specified in an existing system is not maintained in the replacement system. In the replacement system, you must specify the units setting you want to use.
