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.

objTypestringName of an object type, such as "point", or "line" "Point", "Line", "Element", etc
namesstringName(s)/ID(s) of objects or attributes. Examples are ""bob"", "Structural Support 2", "3", "1T5"
objobjectAn object to act on. Typically another ObjectSet object, or any other object derived from DatabaseMember
arrayarrayAn array of objects derived from DatabaseMember
filterTypestringRestricts operation of this function to only objects of the type given
filterNamesstringRestricts operation of this function to only those objects whose names/IDs are given
attrTypestring "Loading", "Support", "Material", etc
masterSlaveboolean"Master"/true or "Slave"/false
eleTypestringName of a LUSAS element, e.g. "QTS4"
stressModelstringName of a LUSAS stress model e.g. "Thick Shell"
Return valuePointer to this objectAllows 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
