### AMSupportRemovalSequence.Add(item: [Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.AdditiveManufacturing.IAMProcessStep](IAMProcessStep.md#ansys.mechanical.stubs.v241.Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.AdditiveManufacturing.IAMProcessStep))

```text
Adds a support or base removal step.
Throws a notSupportedException if the same step was already added.
Usage:
 removalSequence.Add(Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.AdditiveManufacturing.BaseRemoval())
 removalSequence.Add(Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.AdditiveManufacturing.SupportRemoval(supportObj))

```

<a id="AMSupportRemovalSequence.Contains"></a>

### AMSupportRemovalSequence.Contains(item: [Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.AdditiveManufacturing.IAMProcessStep](IAMProcessStep.md#ansys.mechanical.stubs.v241.Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.AdditiveManufacturing.IAMProcessStep))

```text
Returns true if the step exists in the sequencer. If not, returns false
Usage:
    index1 = removalSequence.Contains(Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.AdditiveManufacturing.BaseRemoval());
    index2 = removalSequence.Contains(Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.AdditiveManufacturing.SupportRemoval(supportObj));

```

<a id="AMSupportRemovalSequence.IndexOf"></a>

### AMSupportRemovalSequence.IndexOf(item: [Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.AdditiveManufacturing.IAMProcessStep](IAMProcessStep.md#ansys.mechanical.stubs.v241.Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.AdditiveManufacturing.IAMProcessStep))

```text
Returns index of removal object
Returns -1 if removal object not found
Usage:
C#
    index1 = removalSequence.IndexOf(new Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.AdditiveManufacturing.BaseRemoval());
    index2 = removalSequence.IndexOf(new Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.AdditiveManufacturing.SupportRemoval(supportObj));
Python
    index1 = removalSequence.IndexOf(Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.AdditiveManufacturing.BaseRemoval());
    index2 = removalSequence.IndexOf(Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.AdditiveManufacturing.SupportRemoval(supportObj));

```

<a id="AMSupportRemovalSequence.Insert"></a>

### AMSupportRemovalSequence.Insert(index: [int](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#int), item: [Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.AdditiveManufacturing.IAMProcessStep](IAMProcessStep.md#ansys.mechanical.stubs.v241.Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.AdditiveManufacturing.IAMProcessStep))

```text
Inserts a given step at particular index(zero based)
Throws an IndexOutOfRangeException if the step is being inserted out of range.
Throws a NotSupportedException if the insertion is invalid
Usage:
 Sequence.Insert(0,Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.AdditiveManufacturing.UserStep())

```

<a id="AMSupportRemovalSequence.RemoveAt"></a>

### AMSupportRemovalSequence.RemoveAt(index: [int](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#int))

```text
Remove AM step at index.
Throws IndexOutOfRangeException if index is out of range
Usage:
 removalSequence.RemoveAt(0)

```

<a id="AMSupportRemovalSequence.Swap"></a>

### AMSupportRemovalSequence.Swap(item1: [Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.AdditiveManufacturing.IAMProcessStep](IAMProcessStep.md#ansys.mechanical.stubs.v241.Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.AdditiveManufacturing.IAMProcessStep), item2: [Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.AdditiveManufacturing.IAMProcessStep](IAMProcessStep.md#ansys.mechanical.stubs.v241.Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.AdditiveManufacturing.IAMProcessStep))

```text
Swaps two steps in the Removal sequence.
Returns true if successful and false if unsuccessful
Usage:
C#
 removalSequence.Swap(
    new Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.AdditiveManufacturing.BaseRemoval(),
    new Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.AdditiveManufacturing.SupportRemoval(supportObj));
Python
 removalSequence.Swap(
    Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.AdditiveManufacturing.BaseRemoval(),
    Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.AdditiveManufacturing.SupportRemoval(supportObj))

```
