Hi,
I have created a hexahedral mesh of a pipe by extruding an annulus meshed with quadrilateral elements.  I need to model a notch or crack by deleting elements from the mesh. I looked into mesh.py but I am not confident of what functions I need to look into. Can anyone help me with a simple code to delete an element for a given extruded mesh or list the functions that I should look into?

Thanks
