Dummy

Function: This function selects all dummy elements within the structural model.

Purpose: To isolate auxiliary elements that are used for modeling, meshing, or load application purposes but do not contribute to the structural stiffness or carry loads. This enables efficient management, review, or removal of non-structural components.

Operation: Executes a filter across all elements in the model, selecting only those defined with a dummy element property. These elements are typically used for reference geometry, load distribution, or connection modeling.
