14.5.6. Delete a Column from a Table

To delete a column from a table in free view:

  • Click Delete on the drop-down menu of the column.

Note:  Be aware of the following when deleting columns from a table:

  • You cannot delete the last remaining independent and dependent variables in a table.

  • You cannot delete a column from an imported table if Refresh Import On > Before Solve is selected. See the discussion of this option under View Table Details for more information about how Mechanical handles reimported tables.

  • Be careful not to delete columns with required pressure components. The table will become under-defined and cannot be assigned to a boundary condition. If the table was already assigned to a boundary condition, an error condition displays in the boundary condition Details pane and the Mechanical APDL solver cannot compute a solution. See Tables in 2D and 3D Models for more information.
