Hi Alex,

I do not know if this is the only way, but a possible option is to generate your model with your script and create an element set with the element/s you want to remove.

After that, you should generate the input file and you can import a copy of your model by using the .inp file

mdb.ModelFromInputFile(name=,

inputFileName=)

This new model contains only the mesh information of your original one and it allows you to delete single elements via the command:

el_remove = mdb.models[].parts[].sets[]

mdb.models[].parts[].deleteElement(elements=el_remove)

I think that this technique can also be used at the assembly level.

Another alternative could be during the generation of your model to create a mesh part

mdb.models[].parts[].PartFromMesh(name=, copySets=True)

and perform all the rest of the action of your script on this new part (It has only the mesh information).

There might be also other alternatives but those are the firsts that come to my mind.

I hope it helps.
