Description: When you edit a free body cut, you cannot edit the selection method that was used as part of its definition, but you can change the following aspects of its definition:

• You can edit the set of edges, faces, or nodes and elements that define the free body cross-section. When you change the free body cross-section, Abaqus/CAE customizes the default selection item and method in the Free Body Cross-Section dialog box so that they match the settings that were selected the last time you edited the free body cut. For example, if you specified the free body cross-section by selecting a group of surface sets, the default selection item will be Surfaces and the default selection method will be Surface sets.

• You can change the settings for the summation point of the resultant force and moment vectors and change the component resolution options when vectors are displayed in component form. These options, specified in the Edit Free Body Cut dialog box, are also customized so that their default values match the most recently selected options for this free body cut.
