Clear flowitems using code

Hello, i have model that consists of different rack objects (Warehouse model) and i am creating user command for deleting all flowitems in the warehouse.
I don't want to use model reset, because on model reset there are some triggers which i don't want to run.

Is there some FlexSim command or way how to achieve it ?

Thank you in advance :)

Software Version:

FlexSim 23.2.0

flexscript flowitem usercommand

treenode.subnodes.clear() - a method to destroy subnodes of a container node. Unfortunately you have to call it on every involved rack object. Perhaps you do it with forobjecttreeunder - a command.

Thank you Joerg. I was thinking about this solution but also searched for some more universal way. This way I can delete for example all subnodes of the plane object (so all processors, racks etc that are under racks), am I wrong ? (one of the solution would be to put all racks that I want to clear under one group and clear just this group via subnodes.clear()).

However I was thinking if there is some internal command etc ? Because in model reset all flowitems objects are destroyed, so this could be somehow achieved or replicated

If you are wanting to reset the model like this, it sounds more like you are running a different scenario. Have you considered running scenarios via the experimenter?

I am using Flexsim for visualization purpose. On reset model, the data for vizualization are loaded from database. Then I am switching between different views in the model. Each view is made of different flowitems in different slots, so that's why i need to clear warehouse between jumping from one view to another.
