This routine is used to remove points that are of a specified material value (itetclr for elements or imt for nodes). Elements with the specified material value are flagged by setting the element material type negative. They are not removed from the mesh object.

Remove the dudded elements and update the mesh object arrays with the command RMPOINT/compress.

material_number is the itetclr integer value to remove from the mesh object. Elements with the itetclr=material number are flagged by setting the element material value negative.

no arguments or all removes nodes with imt = material number and removes elements with itetclr= material number.

node removes nodes with imt = material number.

element removes elements with itetclr= material number.
