Does anyone know if there is a way to delete all the elements inside a structure group within the setup script?

I tried to use the groupscope command in the setup script of the model but it gives the error message:

Maybe because you're edit in analysis group while "groupscope" can't used in here,you can just try "selectall;delect;" 

"groupscope" can be used in Script File Editor.

That will delete all the structures under the model. The idea here is to only delete the elements inside a group structure using the script inside the "::model".

Maybe selectpartial,shiftselect,or shiftselectpartial will work for you,you can have a try.

deleteall;

for(i=1:3){

addrect;

set('name','rectangle'+num2str(i));

}

selectpartial('rectangle');

addtogroup('rec');

 

for(i=1:3){

addcircle;

set('name','circle'+num2str(i));

}

selectpartial('circle');

addtogroup('cir');

 

#1 for all the elements have the partial name "circle" in the same group;

selectpartial("cir::circle");

delete;

 

#2 select element one by one;

unselectall;

shiftselect("rec::rectangle1");

shiftselect("rec::rectangle2");

shiftselect("rec::rectangle3");

delete;
