Element Add/Remove dialog box

Destination Folder
Simulation Object Container	Specifies the folder in the Simulation Navigator in which the boundary condition will be stored. The list includes the root container and existing folders that you created using the New Folder command. Examples of a root container include Load Container, Constraint Container, and Simulation Object Container.
Folder Manager	Displays a hierarchical listing of existing folders. To create a new folder, right-click any level of the hierarchy and choose New Folder.
Model Objects
Group Reference	Lets you select the elements added or removed as a group.For more information, see Group Reference options.
Select Object	Lets you select the elements that will be added or removed during the solution.Use the Excluded to remove individual entities from your selection.
Stacked Smart Selector Methods	Opens the Smart Selector Methods dialog box where you can specify a progression of smart selection filters.For more information, see Smart Selector Methods dialog box.
Criteria Type
Addition/Removal Criteria Type	Specifies how you will define the activation criteria for the addition or removal of elements.TimeElements are added and/or removed at a specified point in time.Inelastic Strain RuptureAvailable for structural analysis types only.Elements are removed when the inelastic strain reaches a specified value.Mechanical Strain RuptureAvailable for structural analysis types only.Elements are removed when the total mechanical strain reaches a specified value.
Addition
Appears when Addition/Removal Criteria Type is set to Time.
Addition Criteria	Sets the time at which the elements are added to the solution.
Addition Delta Type	Specifies how you will define the time intervals used to add the elements. Applying a delta time slows the transition of adding elements, which helps to prevent convergence problems.SpecifyTransitions the addition of elements over the time period you set using Addition Delta Time.Ramp over Remaining TimeTransitions the addition of elements over the remaining time in the subcase.
Addition Delta Time	Appears when Addition Delta Type is set to Specify. Sets the duration of time to transition the addition of elements.
Removal
Removal Criteria	Sets the time or strain value at which the elements are removed from the solution.
Removal Delta Type	Specifies how you will define the time intervals used to remove the elements. Applying a delta time slows the transition of removing elements, which helps to prevent convergence problems.SpecifyTransitions the removal of elements over the time period you set using Removal Delta Time.Ramp over Remaining TimeTransitions the removal of elements over the remaining time in the subcase.
Removal Delta Time	Appears when Removal Delta Type is set to Specify. Sets the duration of time to transition the removal of elements.
Card Name	Displays the name of the solver card.
