Further information

1. copysetelements is similar to getsetelements, but copies the values into an existing list rather than returning a new one.

2. If the specified entity name cannot be found, the model will terminate with a runtime error.

3. If the specified entity is not a set of a supported type, the model will terminate with a runtime error.
