remove

Remove element from operating point

Syntax

opNew = remove(op, opPath)

Description

opNew = remove(op, opPath) returns a copy of the OperatingPoint object op, with an element at the specified location opPath removed from the data tree hierarchy. The element can be either a node or a target.

Examples

Remove an Element from Operating Point Data

Open the Permanent Magnet DC Motor example model and create an OperatingPoint object named op using the Start values from the model:

openExample('simscape/PermanentMagnetDCMotorExample')
op = simscape.op.create(gcs, 'Start')

op = 

  OperatingPoint with children:

  OperatingPoints:

   ChildId         Size
   ______________  ____

   'DC Motor'       1x1
   'DC Voltage'     1x1
   'ERef'           1x1
   'Load Torque'    1x1
   'MRRef Motor'    1x1
   'MRRef Torque'   1x1
   'Sensing'        1x1
   'Step Input'     1x1

Select the Load Torque block and find the relative path to this block in the operating point data hierarchy:

 relPath = relativePath(op, gcb)

relPath =

    'Load Torque'

Now remove this element from the operating point:

 op = remove(op, relPath)

op = 

  OperatingPoint with children:

  OperatingPoints:

   ChildId         Size
   ______________  ____

   'DC Motor'       1x1
   'DC Voltage'     1x1
   'ERef'           1x1
   'MRRef Motor'    1x1
   'MRRef Torque'   1x1
   'Sensing'        1x1
   'Step Input'     1x1

Operating point op no longer has the Load Torque child.

Input Arguments

op — Operating point

OperatingPoint object

Operating point in the workspace, specified as an OperatingPoint object.

opPath — Relative path to element

slash-delimited character vector or string scalar

Relative path in the operating point data tree, specified as a slash-delimited character vector or string scalar. Use the relativePath function to determine the path to an element. The element can be a subsystem, block, or variable target.

Data Types: char | string

Output Arguments

opNew — New operating point

OperatingPoint object

New OperatingPoint object, which is a copy of the original OperatingPoint object, op, with element at the location specified by opPath removed from the data tree hierarchy. You can remove elements recursively, that is, the name of the new OperatingPoint object, opNew, can be the same as the name of the original OperatingPoint object, op.
