Can anyone give me a hint on how to delete an array from an unstructured mesh in a python script. I need to do this to save memory when going through multiple
steps processing data.
Below is an example python script and where I would like to delete unused arrays to save memory.
Thanks for any help or ideas.. Dan


    reader =  \
servermanager.sources.XMLUnstructuredGridReader(FileName=in_dir +"/"+in_file)

# Use calculator to get the first component of velocity into the
    # scalar array velocity_u
    calc_u = servermanager.filters.Calculator(Input=reader)
    calc_u.ResultArrayName ='velocity_u'
    calc_u.AddScalarVariable = ['velocity', 'velocity', '0']
    calc_u.Function = 'velocity'

# Use calculator to get the first component of velocity into the
    # scalar array velocity_u
    calc_v = servermanager.filters.Calculator(Input=calc_u)
    calc_v.ResultArrayName ='velocity_v'
    calc_v.AddScalarVariable = ['velocity', 'velocity', '1']
    calc_v.Function = 'velocity'

# Use calculator to get the first component of velocity into the
    # scalar array velocity_u
    calc_w = servermanager.filters.Calculator(Input=calc_v)
    calc_w.ResultArrayName ='velocity_w'
    calc_w.AddScalarVariable = ['velocity', 'velocity', '2']
    calc_w.Function = 'velocity'

# I NO LONGER NEED THE WHOLE VELOCITY FIELD I WOULD LIKE TO DELETE IT

#calculate gradiants du
    grad_u= servermanager.filters.UnstructuredGradient(Input=calc_w)
    grad_u.ResultArrayName = "du"
    grad_u.SelectInputScalars = ["0","0","0","0","velocity_u"]
#calculate gradiants dv
    grad_v= servermanager.filters.UnstructuredGradient(Input=grad_u)
    grad_v.ResultArrayName = "dv"
    grad_v.SelectInputScalars = ["0","0","0","0","velocity_v"]
#calculate gradiants dw
    grad_w= servermanager.filters.UnstructuredGradient(Input=grad_v)
    grad_w.ResultArrayName = "dw"
    grad_w.SelectInputScalars = ["0","0","0","0","velocity_w"]

# I NO LONGER NEED THE WHOLE VELOCITY SCALAR FIELDS I WOULD LIKE TO DELETE THEM

#calculate vorticity magnitude
    calc_vort = servermanager.filters.Calculator(Input=grad_w)
    calc_vort.ResultArrayName ='VortMag'
    calc_vort.AddScalarVariable = \
       ['dudx', 'du', '0','dudy', 'du', '1','dudz', 'du', '2',\
        'dvdx', 'dv', '0','dvdy', 'dv', '1','dvdz', 'dv', '2',\
        'dwdx', 'dw', '0','dwdy', 'dw', '1','dwdz', 'dw', '2', ]
calc_vort.Function = 'sqrt( (dwdy - dvdz)^2 + (dudz - dwdx)^2 + (dvdx - dvd
y )^2 )'

# ALL DONE ! I WOULD LIKE TO DELETE EVERYTHING EXCEPT THE REQUIRED VORTICITY MAGNITUDE SCALAR FIELD

writer = servermanager.writers.XMLUnstructuredGridWriter(Input=calc_vort,\
             FileName=out_file )
    writer.UpdatePipeline()
