When the Feature Manipulation toolset asks you to select a feature, you can select it from the viewport. Alternatively, you can select the feature from the Model Tree.
If you click mouse button 3 on a feature in the Model Tree, the menu that appears allows you to do the following:
- Edit
When you edit a feature, Abaqus/CAE displays the feature editor. You can either modify the feature's parameters directly or, if applicable, you can modify the sketch that forms the two-dimensional profile or sweep path of a feature.
- Regenerate
When you modify features in a complex part, it may be convenient to postpone regeneration until you make all your changes, since regeneration can be time consuming. Select when you are ready to regenerate the part.
- Rename
Rename a part.
- Suppress
Suppressing a feature temporarily removes it from the definition of the part. A suppressed feature is invisible, cannot be meshed, and is not included in the analysis of the model. You cannot suppress the base feature, and suppressing a parent feature will suppress all of its child features.
- Resume
Resuming a feature restores a suppressed feature to the part; resuming a parent feature restores all of its child features. You can choose to resume all features, the set of features most recently suppressed, or a selected feature.
- Delete
Deleting a feature removes it from the part. You cannot resume a deleted feature.
- Query
When you query a part, Abaqus/CAE displays information in the message area and writes the same information to the replay file (abaqus.rpy) in the form of comments.
- Options
The Feature Options dialog box allows you to tune the regeneration performance of the current model.
