Clearing Sequences and Deleting Sequences or Nodes
You can change the contents, and actions, of the sequences in the model tree by clearing a meshing sequence or solution under a solver configuration, or delete nodes in the Model Builder.
Undo is not possible for nodes that are built directly, such as geometry objects, meshes, solutions, and plots.
Clear or Delete a Mesh
Use a Clear function to keep the nodes and be able to recreate the mesh by rebuilding the meshing sequence.
Under the Component node where you want to clear or delete the mesh:
•
In the Mesh toolbar, click Clear Built Mesh () or right-click the Mesh node and select Clear Built Mesh (). This clears the built mesh while it keeps all nodes and settings in the sequence so that the mesh can be rebuilt.
•
To delete all operations and attribute nodes in a meshing sequence, in the Mesh toolbar click Clear Sequence () or right-click the Mesh node and select Clear Sequence ().
•
If you have a component with several meshes, you can clear all built meshes at the same time, right-click the Meshes node and select Clear Built Meshes. This clears the built meshes of the component while it keeps all nodes and settings in the sequences so that the meshes can be rebuilt.
•
To clear all built meshes in the whole model at the same time, in the Mesh toolbar, click Clear All Built Meshes ().This clears the built meshes of the component while it keeps all nodes and settings in the sequences so that the meshes can be rebuilt.
Clear or Delete a Solution
Use a Clear function to keep the nodes and be able to recreate the solution by computing the solution again.
•
To clear a set of solutions under a specific study, from the Study toolbar, click Clear Solutions () or right-click the Study node and select Clear Solutions ().
•
To delete all solver nodes, right-click the Solver Configurations node and select Delete Configurations (). You can also choose whether or not to remove the Results nodes (datasets and plots, for example) associated with the solver configuration.
•
If you have a model geometry with several studies, you can clear all solutions in all studies at the same time. From the Study toolbar, click Clear All Solutions ().
Delete Nodes
•
To delete selected nodes, right-click the nodes and select Delete () or press Del (the Delete key). Confirm the deletion of nodes for it to take effect. Also see Clear or Delete a Mesh.
•
To delete all nodes in a geometry sequence, in the Geometry toolbar click Clear Sequence () or right-click the Geometry node and select Clear Sequence (). You cannot use the Undo command.
•
To delete geometry objects or entities, in the Geometry toolbar click Delete () or right-click Geometry and select Delete (). Or select objects in the Graphics window, and click the Delete button () in the Graphics window toolbar.
If you use the Delete button to delete objects, the software deletes the selected objects that correspond to primitive features by deleting their nodes from the geometry sequence. If you delete objects that do not correspond to primitive features or if you delete geometric entities, a Delete Entities node appears in the sequence.
