How to remove an element failed from analysis

[cvatansever]

Dear All,

Is there any method or procedure to remove an element failed (or fractured) from the analysis while analysis is progressing ?

Thanks,

remove ele $eleTag .. if you have a recorder recording stuff from ele you need to remove as well.

Dear McKenna,

Thank you so much for your reply.

I know that the "remove" command can be used for this process. I also think that we have to put some conditions to provide the code with the time when the element fails. So, how can we provide required procedure in the code to remove the element ? Is it enough to use "remove" and "recorder" commands ? If yes, how ?

Thanks again.
