    Hello,

    Does anyone know how to delete entities within a model using the Python API. In the example below, I'm trying to delete all entities named "electrode" but the delete doesn't remove them from the UI. I confirmed that the if statement is indeed working.

    Thanks.

    entities = model.AllEntities()
    	for i in range(len(entities)):
    		name = entities[i].Name
    		if "electrode" in name.casefold():
    			entities[i].Delete

      The issue in your code is in the last line of the code. You should write entities[i].Delete(). Also please check the indented blocks.

      The code should be:

      entities = model.AllEntities()
      for i in range(len(entities)):
      	name = entities[i].Name
      	if "electrode" in name.casefold():
      		entities[i].Delete()
      

      All the best,
      Antonino
