Deleting Entities by Name

[ebarkoch]

Hello,

Does anyone know how to delete entities within a model using the Python API. In the example below, I'm trying to delete all entities named "electrode" but the delete doesn't remove them from the UI. I confirmed that the if statement is indeed working.

Thanks.

entities = model.AllEntities()
	for i in range(len(entities)):
		name = entities[i].Name
		if "electrode" in name.casefold():
			entities[i].Delete

@ebarkoch
The issue in your code is in the last line of the code. You should write entities[i].Delete(). Also please check the indented blocks.

The code should be:

entities = model.AllEntities()
for i in range(len(entities)):
	name = entities[i].Name
	if "electrode" in name.casefold():
		entities[i].Delete()

All the best,
Antonino
