part delete

Allows you to delete an existing part (rigid body, equation, flexible body, point mass, or rigid stress object). You must enter the name of the part you want to delete by either picking it from the screen or specifying the full name.
You can reverse this deletion using an undo command.

Format:

 
part delete
part_name =
existing part
equation_name =
existing equation
flexible_body_name =
existing flexible body
external_system_name =
existing external system
point_mass_name =
existing point mass
rigid_stress_name =
existing rigid stress
fe_part_name =
existing FE_Part
fe_node_name =
existing FE_Node

Example:

part delete &
part_name =
part_2

Extended Definition:

1. You can identify an entity, such as a marker or force, by typing its name or by picking it from the screen. If the entity is not visible on the screen, you must type the name. You may also find it convenient to type the name even if the element is displayed.
If an entity is available by default, you can identify it by entering only its name. If it is not, you must enter its full name. To identify an entity under a different part, you may need to enter the model and part names as well. For example, you can specify marker 'pivot' from model 'links', part 'lower_arm' by entering ".links.lower_arm.pivot".
If you type a "?", Adams View lists the entity available by default.
You must separate multiple entity names by commas. If the entity is visible in one of your views, you can identify it by picking it. You need not separate multiple element picks by commas.
 
Notes:  
■ You created a marker by reading an Adams Solver dataset or graphics file, the marker name is the letters MAR followed by the dataset marker ID number. For example, the name of MARKER/101 is MAR101. If you created the marker during preprocessing, you will have given it a name at that time.
■You may have explicitly named an analysis when you created it by reading one or more Adams output files (graphics (.gra), request (.req), or results (.res)). By default, the name of the analysis is the root name of the Adams output files without the extension. If you created the analysis by reading an Adams graphics file, for example, the analysis name is the name of the graphics file without the .gra extension
