what do you mean? delete shell elements based on some isoline information?

Yes, i wanted to create holes in the surface, but i want the position of the holes be dependent from the isolines.

So i create holes in the surface but only on the places where the material is the less needed for the

construction.

so that could end up in an iterative procedure cause the internal stresses change, and therefore the isolines change as well. further, it very much depends on which points you define to calculate the isolines through.

if you want to do this anyway, just mesh-trim the mesh by the isolines.
