Algorithm (Workflow)

This function, SGstripfields, is designed to clean up a Solid Geometry (SG) structure by removing specific fields if they are empty or unused. The function is part of the SolidGeometry library and was introduced in version 2.1.

Input Parameters

• SG: A structure representing Solid Geometry, which may contain various fields related to geometric data.

Output Results

• SG: The modified Solid Geometry structure with certain fields removed if they are empty or unused.

Algorithm Steps

1. Check if the field 'CPL' exists in the SG structure. If it does, remove it using the rmfield function.
2. Check if the field 'PL' exists in the SG structure. If it does, remove it using the rmfield function.
3. Check if the field 'EL' exists in the SG structure. If it does, remove it using the rmfield function.
4. Check if the field 'FC' exists and is empty in the SG structure. If both conditions are true, remove it using the rmfield function.
5. Check if the field 'T' exists and is empty in the SG structure. If both conditions are true, remove it using the rmfield function.
6. Check if the field 'Tname' exists and is empty in the SG structure. If both conditions are true, remove it using the rmfield function.
7. Check if the field 'TFiL' exists and is empty in the SG structure. If both conditions are true, remove it using the rmfield function.

Example Usage

To use this function, you can first create a sample SG structure using the SGsample function and then call SGstripfields to clean it up:

SG = SGsample(14);
SG = SGstripfields(SG);

This function is useful for maintaining a clean and efficient data structure by removing unnecessary fields, which can help in reducing memory usage and improving performance.
