Delete Unused MPC, Nodes, elements

ron.kunz
WIth utility "FEM-NOdes - REmove Unused nodes" it is possible to delete unused nodes.
When I select this option, I get this message:
"210 FEM entities do not exist or are still associated and cannot be deleted."
How can I delete these nodes now? I think the reason is due to deleted MPC`s in the model. Still there exists some association to old MPC`s, how can I delete unused MPC?

    Hi Ron, do you mean that you want to find only the elements immediately surrounding your target element, or do you want find (e.g.) all elements in a component after picking one element?
     
    Either one could be done by putting the element in its own group and using the Group Extend Utility - with max loops set to 1 or 0 as appropriate.
     
    There is an alternative method for the first option, but it's a little long-winded. Go to Tools/List/Create. First create a list of nodes by association with your target element. Then create a second list of element associated to those nodes. See images below. Note the use of the syntax `lista` to indicate the contents of the he first list. The final selection can be used elsewhere by referring to `listb`.
