HMIN_setduplicatenameseparator()

Controls the way HyperWorks Desktop resolves the conflict when an incoming entity has the same name as an existing entity.

Syntax

void HMIN_setduplicatenameseparator(char separator);

Type

HyperMesh hminlib Function

Description

If an incoming entity has the same name as existing HyperMesh entity, it is necessary to generate a new name to avoid the conflict. By default, HyperMesh appends to the name a period followed by a number, for example: "materialname.1". This pattern is unacceptable to some solvers, such as Abaqus, that can't have a period in a name. This command controls what to use in place of a period.

Inputs

separator: Any printable character, ASCII 32-126.

Example

HMIN_setduplicatenameseparator(':');

Errors

None.
