Suppressing Material Properties

Data may be defined but suppressed to prevent it from being sent to a downstream cell in the system. For example, suppressing a material or material property prevents it from being used in the model. Suppressed items are shown by a strike through the name (for example,  ) and the check box being selected in the suppression column.

To suppress a material property:

  1. Access Engineering Data.

  2. To suppress a material property in libraries or favorites, open the Engineering Data Sources pane and mark the data source as editable.

  3. In the Outline pane, select a material that contains the property to suppress.

  4. In the Suppression ( ) column, select the check box for the property you want to suppress.
