Context:
You cannot trim a fillet; if you trim an edge that defines an endpoint of a fillet, Abaqus/CAE deletes the fillet.
From the modify tools in the Sketcher toolbox, select the Auto-trim tool . For a diagram of the tools in the Sketcher toolbox, see The Sketcher tools.
Abaqus/CAE displays prompts in the prompt area to guide you through the procedure.
Move the cursor over the edges in the sketch.
As you move the cursor, Abaqus/CAE highlights the section that would be removed.
Click to remove the highlighted edge segment.
Unlike when you use Trim/Extend, Abaqus/CAE does not split the intersecting edges.
Note:
If you trim a spline curve, Abaqus/CAE removes the control points to retain the exact shape of the original curve; therefore, you can no longer edit the shape of the curve.
When you have finished trimming edges, do one of the following
-
Click mouse button 2 anywhere in the Abaqus/CAE window.
-
Select any tool in the Sketcher toolbox.
-
Click the cancel button in the prompt area.
