[DesignModeler] Deleting Surface Body

ansys_matt · August 14, 2017, 20:11

Hello,

I run into this frustration all the time, and so I am hoping someone can help me out. I created a part which is made from two surface bodies, and now I want to go back and delete one of the parts but I keep getting this problem.

The first image shows what I want to delete, as I have just right clicked and you can see there is a delete option there.

So when I select delete I get this error message:

Warning: Cannot delete feature; other features depend on it.

But when I try to delete the surface body there is no delete option. How am I supposed to delete that one part????? I want to delete the Surface Body, I want to delete SurfaceSk2, I want to delete Sketch2. All of those things are related and I want them all gone. How!?

Thanks!

Hello friend,
try to design a separate part and finally assemble it. you can use anyother cad model and save a file such as (xt or igs) and then import.

if you want to delete then first delete "surfacesk2" then delete "sketch2"
