42.4.5 Deleting a feature

Select FeatureDelete from the main menu bar to delete a selected feature. You can also delete a feature by clicking mouse button 3 on the feature in the Model Tree and selecting Delete from the menu that appears.

When you delete a parent feature, you also delete all of its child features. You cannot resume a deleted feature.

To delete a feature:

  1. From the main menu bar, select FeatureDelete.

    Tip:  You can also delete a feature using the tool located in the module toolbox.

  2. Select a feature to delete. You can select a feature from the current viewport or from the Model Tree. If you use the Model Tree, you can select multiple features to delete. For more information, see Chapter 6, “Selecting objects within the viewport,” and “Working with the Model Tree and the Results Tree,” Section 3.5.

    ABAQUS/CAE highlights the selected feature. If you selected a feature that has child features, ABAQUS/CAE also highlights the children.

  3. If you selected a feature from the viewport, click Yes in the prompt area. If you selected a feature from the Model Tree, click mouse button 3 on the feature and select Delete from the menu that appears.

    The selected feature and any child features are deleted.

  4. To exit the delete procedure, either

    • click the cancel button in the prompt area, or
