deleteΒΆ

Deletes a connector, component, or subsystem from the SSP model.

This method removes the specified element from the model hierarchy. It can be used to: - Remove individual connectors (parameters or inputs/outputs) from a system or component. - Remove components from a subsystem or top-level system. - Remove entire subsystems, including all their child components and connectors.

Notes:

  • Deleting a connector removes it from the system/component, but does not affect other connectors or components.

  • Deleting a component removes all its connectors and any associated parameter values.

  • Deleting a subsystem removes the subsystem and all nested components and connectors.

  • Any SSV/SSM references pointing to deleted elements may become invalid.

  • The operation modifies the active variant; other variants are unaffected unless explicitly modified.

Syntax:

delete(cref)
Parameters:
  • cref (CRef): Reference to the element to delete. Can point to a connector, component, or subsystem. Examples:

    • Connector: CRef("default", "param1")

    • Component: CRef("default", "Add1")

    • Subsystem: CRef("default", "sub-system")

Example usage:

from OMSimulator import SSP, CRef

# Load an existing SSP model
model2 = SSP("deleteConnector1.ssp")

# Delete individual connectors
model2.delete(CRef("default", "param1"))
model2.delete(CRef("default", "sub-system", "input"))
model2.delete(CRef("default", "sub-system", "Add2", "u1"))
model2.delete(CRef("default", "Add1", "u1"))

print("## After deleting connectors:")
model2.list()

# Delete an entire component
model2.delete(CRef("default", "sub-system", "Add2"))
print("## After deleting component Add2 from sub-system:")
model2.list()
# Delete an entire sub-system
model2.delete(CRef('default', 'sub-system'))
print("## After deleting sub-system:")
model2.list()
# Delete the entire system
model2.delete(CRef('default'))
print("## After deleting full system:")
model2.list()
