HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command

Removes entities from a modular entity via IDs. Selection by IDs is mainly useful for adding include entities, which cannot be selected by mark.

modular_entity_type: The type of modular entity to update. Valid values are subsystemconfigurations, subsystems and subsystemsets.
modular_entity_id: The ID of the modular entity to update.
content_entity_type: The type of entity to remove. If modular_entity_type is subsystem, it is not allowed to remove includefile entity type.
content_entity_ids: A quoted list of the entity IDs to remove.

Remove the contents of include 2 from subsystem 3:

*modent_removecontentsbyids subsystems 3 includes "2"

Incorrect usage results in a Tcl error. To detect errors, you can use the catch command:

if { [ catch {command_name...} ] } {
   # Handle error
}
