Suppressing features from a body

Use Suppress Feature to automatically select features to be suppressed, or to manually select one or more features and temporarily remove them from the target body and the display.

Note:

To successfully access features for suppression, you must first enable suppression for the relevant part features in Modeling (In the Modeling application, choose Menu → Edit → Feature → Suppress by Expression).

For example, in (A), we chose Suppress Feature and selected the two bolt features. (B) shows the model with those bolts suppressed.

A suppressed feature still exists in the database but appears to be removed from the model. You can retrieve any suppressed features using Unsuppress Feature.

Use Suppress Feature to:

• Reduce the size of large models, thereby reducing the creation, object selection, edit, and display time.

• Remove non-critical features such as small holes, blends, and chamfers from your model for analysis work. Note that suppressed features are not meshed in Pre/Post.

• Create features in locations where there is conflicting geometry. For example, if you need to position a feature using an edge that has already been blended, you do not need to delete the blend. You can suppress the blend, create and position the new feature, and then unsuppress the blend.

Note:

You should not create new features where a suppressed feature exists.

Suppressing Associated Features

When you suppress a feature that has associated features, the associated features are also suppressed.

Where do I find it?

• With the idealized part displayed, choose Home tab→Geometry Preparation→Suppress Feature .

• Choose Menu→Edit→Feature→Suppress.
