Limitations while selecting

Limitations apply to picking procedures.

The following limitations apply:

  • The following entities cannot be picked:

    • Sets

    • Surfaces

  • Picking more than one kind of entity at the same time is not supported for a sequence style of ARRAY; for example, the user cannot pick nodes and elements in the same step.

  • Picking Features or Instances cannot be combined with picking other types of entities. In addition, a sequence style of ARRAY is not supported.

  • There is no support for unselecting entities that belong to selected entities. For example, when the user selects a face, Abaqus also selects all the edges belonging to the selected face. The user cannot unselect one of those edges.

  • Probing is not supported.

These limitations may be removed in a future release of the Abaqus GUI Toolkit.
