marker delete_unused

Identifies and deletes the markers that are unused anywhere in a single model in an Adams View or Adams Car Template Builder session.

Format:

mdi marker delete_unused
model =
an existing model
body =
an existing body

Example:

mdi marker delete_unused &
model =
Model_1
body =
body_1

Description:

 
Parameter
Value Type
Description
model
An Existing Model
Specifies the model whose unused markers are to be deleted.
body
An Existing body
Specifies the body whose unused markers are to be deleted.

Extended Definition:

1. You must enter the name of the model under which you wish to delete unused markers.
2. Unused markers are considered those with no dependents; that is, any marker not involved in
a. object definitions like geometry, constraints or forces
b. body definitions like center or mass or inertia reference markers
c. design-time expressions, for example for parametrization
d. run-time functions, for example defining the value of a motion or force component

Cautions:

Markers used only by user subroutine functions hardcoded to the marker ID will be identified by this command as unused. If you reference marker ID's directly in object runtime functions calling user subroutines, then use this command very cautiously.
You need not separate multiple models by commas.

Tips:

You may reverse this deletion immediately following the action with an UNDO command.
