Algorithm (Workflow)

This function, smbDeleteUnconnectedLines, is designed to remove unconnected lines in a Simulink/SimMechanics model. It is part of the SolidGeometry library and was introduced in version 3.1.

Input Parameters

Algorithm Steps

  1. Initialize the variable asys with the current system (gcs).
  2. Check if there is at least one input argument and if it is not empty. If so, set asys to the first input argument.
  3. Use find_system to locate all lines in the specified system asys. The function searches for all objects of type 'line'.
  4. Retrieve the 'Connected' parameter for each line using get_param. This returns a cell array indicating whether each line is connected ('on') or not ('off').
  5. Convert the cell array to a logical array using strfind to find occurrences of 'off'. This identifies unconnected lines.
  6. Delete the unconnected lines using delete_line on the indices where the logical array is true.
