Suppress parts in Patran (for performing a analysis check)

ron.kunz
Is it possible to suppress parts in Patran? I would like to perform small tests with contacts but not all parts are needed. Of course I don`t want to delete mesh.
In the Analysis group one can perform an analyze by a selected group so that would be a backup. But then I have to perform first a new group.

    Yes, if you select the group Patran should use the LBCs and contacts defined on members of that group.
     
    LBCs (including contacts) are not themselves members of groups; the examples I gave above are just possible ways to manage your model. So for example if you create a group from LBC sets, what you're really doing is creating a group of the geometry and/or elements that have those LBCs applied. Does that clarify things?
