How to find elements of the root namespace using Automator?

How-to Guides
1 
package A {
    package B {}
}

Say the above is my SysML v2 code - How can I check if an element is in the root namespace using Automator? E.g. I want to match package A but not package B.

You can use root_node.children.elements - I hope this helps!

Thanks, but what can I use as my root node? I want to search for nodes in the entire model, in all documents

A good practice is to do the following:

(model, diagnostics) = syside.load_model([MODEL_FILE_PATH])

for doc in model.user_docs:
        with doc.lock() as locked:
            root_node = locked.root_node
            for child in root_node.children.elements...

You can also check if the owner has an owner
element.owner is None # <- is a root namespace
or
element.owner is not None and element.owner.owner is None # <- owner is a root namespace, i.e. this i a top level element.
