remove(objType, [names])
remove(obj, [filterType], [filterNames])
remove(array, [filterType], [filterNames])
remove(attrType, [names], [filterType], [filterNames])
remove(attrType, names, masterSlave, [filterType], [filterNames])

remove(stressModel, [filterType], [filterNames])

Deletes the specified object(s) from this set. The specified objects will still be present in the model, and may be added to this set again at a later stage. Note that remove obeys the value of the downward associativity such that it will also remove the LOFs of any items removed if the downward associativity flag is set true. When called with an ObjectSet or an array, this function acts on all the objects contained within it. When called with attributes, it acts on those objects that have an assignment to the attributes given. In each case, an additional filter can be performed by specifying the type (and optionally name(s)) of objects to be acted on.

objType string Name of an object type, such as "point", or "line" "Point", "Line", "Element", etc
names string Name(s)/ID(s) of objects or attributes. Examples are ""bob"", "Structural Support 2", "3", "1T5"
obj object An object to act on. Typically another ObjectSet object, or any other object derived from DatabaseMember
array array An array of objects derived from DatabaseMember
filterType string Restricts operation of this function to only objects of the type given
filterNames string Restricts operation of this function to only those objects whose names/IDs are given
attrType string "Loading", "Support", "Material", etc
masterSlave boolean "Master"/true or "Slave"/false
eleType string Name of a LUSAS element, e.g. "QTS4"
stressModel string Name of a LUSAS stress model e.g. "Thick Shell"
Return value Pointer to this object Allows multiple function calls to be chained together

Example

To view the parts of the model made of aluminium that are not supported

 call visible.add("Material", "Aluminium") ' make the assignments visible
 call visible.remove("Support", "All")     ' make any supported features invisible
