Regenerating a part or assembly

When you modify features in a complex part or assembly, it may be convenient to postpone regeneration until you make all your changes, since regeneration can be time consuming. (For more information, see Editing a feature.) When you are ready to regenerate the part or assembly, you can select FeatureRegenerate from the main menu bar. You can also regenerate a feature by clicking mouse button 3 on the feature in the Model Tree and selecting Regenerate from the menu that appears.

  1. From the main menu bar, select FeatureRegenerate.

    Tip: You can also regenerate a feature using the tool located in the module toolbox.

    Abaqus/CAE regenerates the part or assembly.

  2. If regeneration fails, a dialog box appears. In this case you can choose one of the following options:

    • Click Undo Changes to return to the original part or assembly and discard all your changes.

    • Click Keep Changes to continue the regeneration, suppressing those features that failed to regenerate.

      Note:

      Features that are suppressed as a result of the failure are resumed automatically if you correct the cause of the failure.
