Suppressing Objects In ANSYS® Mechanical

Suppressing is quite different from hiding objects or conditions in ANSYS® Mechanical. Suppressing deletes the effects of the suppressed object from the analysis. And this suppressing process can affect the other elements in the analysis tree at ANSYS® Mechanical. For example, if you assign a force on a body in ANSYS® Mechanical and if you suppress this body, the effect of force also be deleted from the analysis.

But suppressing does not delete the objects from the analyses tree. It only deletes the effects on analyses in ANSYS®. Suppression is very easy in ANSYS® Mechanical. Here, we have shown the suppression of elements and objects from ANSYS® Mechanical with a very basic example below.
