function md2=modelextract(md1,area)
%modelextract - extract a model according to an Argus contour or flag list
%
%   This routine extracts a submodel from a bigger model with respect to a given contour
%   md must be followed by the corresponding exp file or flags list
%   It can either be a domain file (argus type, .exp extension), or an array of element flags. 
%   If user wants every element outside the domain to be 
%   modelextract2d, add '~' to the name of the domain file (ex: '~Pattyn.exp');
%   an empty string '' will be considered as an empty domain
%   a string 'all' will be considered as the entire domain
%   add an argument 0 if you do not want the elements to be checked (faster)
%
%   Usage:
%      md2=modelextract(md1,area);
%
%   Examples:
%      md2=modelextract(md,'Domain.exp');
%      md2=modelextract(md,md.elementoniceshelf);
%
%   See also: EXTRUDE, COLLAPSE
