Excluding objects from calculation |
Scroll |
A model object can be excluded from the calculation. The model will be rebuilt without account of the excluded object and its derivative objects as if they all were deleted, but information about these objects remains in the document.
You can exclude any model objects from the calculation. If the model contains components, you can also exclude components of all levels from the calculation.
Exclusion of objects from the calculation allows to reduce the calculation time when building additional elements or rebuilding a model. For example, you can exclude chamfers, roundings, holes and other small elements from the calculation if due to the large number of them the process of building new conceptual mass is too slow. Moreover, excluding objects from calculation allows to see what the model looked like before they were built.
Objects can be excluded selectively, i.e. regardless of their position in the hierarchy of the model elements and, therefore, in the Design Tree.

Objects excluded from calculation are temporarily deleted from the model. Thus, the objects they were based on may sometimes be marked as wrong. Such errors will disappear after including the objects in the calculation. |
Special icons are used for visual control over the object state — Included into Calculation or Excluded from Calculation. In the model Design Tree these icons are displayed in a separate column. If the column with icons is not shown, invoke from the button menu 
the command Calculation Result.

Icons of the column Calculation Result are not displayed in additional Document Tree. |
An icon shows the object state (included/excluded) and the method used to manage the state. The following methods are available:
