Suppress one or more machining operations.

To reduce the analysis time you can suppress unlikely contacts, such as, in this case, self-contact.

Next to the contact set, click Suppress or Unsuppress. The contact set is suppressed or unsuppressed until you click the icon again.

*Unisolate restores the visibility of all components and bodies. Suppress /Unsuppress: Suppress a Preserved Region to prevent it from affecting the study results (that is, to ignore it).

Then expand the list of Model Parameters, locate the relevant component, and expand the list of Feature parameters. Suppress features You can Suppress Features in the timeline to turn off the edit without deleting it.

You can also suppress individual copies within the pattern.

When a feature is implicitly suppressed , hover over its cell in the table and the tooltip displays the upstream feature that is implicitly suppressing it.

Press Enter. Suppress features Suppressing features makes the features and all dependent features temporarily unavailable.

Click on each row and cell to identify the bodies involved. Click Suppress All Self-Contacts to supppress unnecessary self-contacts that will contribute to the compute time.

Suppress : Right-click an unsuppressed Load Case node in the browser and choose Suppress to exclude that load case from the solution.

Tip: Hold Ctrl (Windows) or Command (MacOS) to suppress the tool preview and modify the selection set.

In the Drawing workspace, locate the component in the Browser, then uncheck the Suppress box to suppress the component.

In this tutorial you Create a new event simulation study and define its parameters Define a rigid body and change the model materials Apply constraints to Bottom Plate, the Billet, and the Top Plate Apply a prescribed translation constraint to define to distance the Top Plate moves, and suppress self-contact to reduce the analysis time Run the analysis and review the results.

To reduce the analysis time you can suppress unlikely contacts, such as self-contact, or contact generated between bodies that never contact each other.

Important*: Suppressing such features can simplify the meshing process and reduce the simulation time.
