rblock delete command

Syntax

rblock delete <keyword> <range>

Primary keywords:

aspect-ratio    duplicates    number-contacts    size    unbonded

Delete rigid blocks.

aspect-ratio f1 <f2 >

Delete rigid blocks with aspect ratio between f1 and f2 inclusive. If only f1 is provided then rigid blocks with aspect ratio greater than or equal to this value are deleted.

duplicates

Delete duplicate rigid blocks.

number-contacts i

Delete rigid blocks with total number of contacts (active and inactive) less than or equal to i. This is done recursively until no rigid blocks fit the deletion criteria.

size keyword

Delete rigid blocks based on {area in 2D; volume in 3D}, termed rigid block size in the descriptions below.

absolute f1 <f2 >

Delete rigid blocks with size between f1 and f2 inclusive. If only f1 is provided then rigid blocks with size less than or equal to this value are deleted.

ratio-maximum f

Delete rigid blocks with size less than or equal to f multiplied by the maximum rigid block size.

ratio-mean f

Delete rigid blocks with size less than or equal to f multiplied by the average rigid block size.

unbonded

Delete rigid blocks that are not bonded to any other pieces.

Usage Examples

Delete rigid blocks with an aspect ratio greater than that defined by the FISH symbol refAs.

rblock delete aspect-ratio [refAs]

Delete rigid blocks smaller than the size defined by the FISH symbol refVol.

rblock delete size absolute [refVol]

Delete rigid blocks in the range between \(x\) = 6.5 and \(x\) = 100.

rblock delete range position-x 6.5 100

Delete rigid blocks in the range named sliver in the slot sliver (e.g., delete all the slivers in the model. Presumably these were created as part of a cut operation. See rblock cut.)

rblock delete range group 'sliver' slot 'sliver'
