sfedele

FeSurfaceLoads.sfedele(elem='', lkey='', lab='', lcomp='', **kwargs)

Deletes surface loads from elements.

Mechanical APDL Command: SFEDELE

Parameters:

elemstr

Element to which surface load deletion applies. If ALL, delete load from all selected elements ( esel ). If ELEM = P, graphical picking is enabled and all remaining command fields are ignored (valid only in the GUI). A component name may be substituted for ELEM.

lkeystr

Load key associated with surface load (defaults to 1). If ALL, delete surface loads for all load keys. If sfcontrol is issued for selected elements, this value is the face number. If ALL, deletes the surface load based on Lcomp.

labstr

Surface load label. If ALL, use all appropriate labels. See sfe for valid labels.

lcompstr

Label of surface-load components. Valid when the surface load is defined via sfcontrol. Valid labels are NORM, TANX, TAXY when KCSYS = 0, LOCX, LOCY, LOCZ when KCSYS = 1, and USER when KCSYS = 2. ( KCSYS is specified when issuing sfcontrol.) If ALL, deletes all component on the face defined by LKEY.

Notes

Deletes surface loads from selected elements. See the sfdele command for an alternate surface load deletion capability based upon selected nodes.

This command is also valid in PREP7.
