This option is available only for Event Simulation studies.
On the Setup tab, click Manage > Element Deletion Criteria to display the Element Deletion Criteria dialog.
In the canvas, select the body or bodies whose mesh elements can be deleted.
In the dialog, select a Deletion Criteria option to determine when mesh elements can be deleted:
If you select Effective Strain, Equivalent Plastic Strain, or Principal Strain, enter a Value as a percentage. For example, enter 0.01 for 1%.
If during the simulation the strain on an element exceeds this value, the element is automatically deleted.
Click OK to apply the deletion criterion to the study and close the dialog.
A Deletion Criteria item is added under a Deletion Criteria node in the Browser.
