Delete Model Example

Overview

This video demonstrates the Delete Model command in Nitro-CELL, which removes a model from the Creo session and optionally deletes it from disk. This command is useful for cleanup operations in automated workflows where temporary or intermediate models need to be removed after processing. The video walks through how to specify the model to delete, choose whether to remove it from session only or also from disk, and execute the command safely. It also covers important considerations around model dependencies — such as what happens when you try to delete a model that is referenced by an assembly — and how to handle those scenarios in your automation scripts.

Key Steps

1. Identify the model to be deleted from the Creo session
2. Enter the Delete Model command with the target model name
3. Specify whether to delete from session only or also from disk
4. Execute the command and verify the model was removed
5. Check that no dependent assemblies or drawings are affected

Tips

• Use caution with disk deletion — this operation cannot be undone
• Remove models from assemblies before deleting them to avoid broken references
• Use Delete Model for cleanup at the end of batch processing workflows
