interface object table set cell

Allows you to alter the contents of single or multiple cells in a object tableThe object table is used to list one or more types of objects in a modeling environment. For example, a type of entities like link, center_marker or properties like mass, inertia can be selectively listed and displayed using this command. The objects listed can be edited, or copied as required.

The properties of a single of multiple cells can be edited by using this command.

Format:

 

interface object table set cell
object_table_name =	A Exisitng GI_otable
use_cell_selected=	True_only
row_range=	Integer
use_row_selected =	True_only
object_rows =	An Existing Entity
use_column_selected=	True_only
column_range=	Integer
field_name_of_column =	String
string =	String
action =	Col_action

Example:

 

interface object_table set cell
object_table_name =	.gui.obj.objt
row_range=	4,5
column_range=	1,1
strings =	stationary
action =	replace

Description:

 

Parameter	Value Type	Description
object_table _name	An Existing GI_otable	Specifies the name of the object table in which the cells are to be altered
use_cell_selected	True_only	Specifies the cell to be altered directly
row_range	Integer	Specifies the range of rows to be altered
use_row_selected	True_only	Specifies the row in which cells are altered
object_rows	An Existing Entity	Specifies the row to be altered by entering the object name for the row
use_column_selected	True_only	Specifies the column in which the cells are altered
column_range	Integer	Specifies the range of columns in which the cells are to be altered
field_name_of_column	String	Specifies the column in which the cells are altered by entering the field name
string	String	Specifies the new contents of the cell
action	Col_action	Specifies the mode of insertion of new contents

Extended Definition:

1.	The cells to be altered are initially addressed by the ‘object table name’. Next, the exact location of the cells can be specified by various choices like, ‘use_cell_selected’, ‘row_range’, ‘use_row_selected’, ‘object rows’, ‘use_column_selected’, ‘column range’, and ‘field_name_of_ columns’.

2.	The single of multiple cells to be altered can be directly selected with the choice ‘use_cell_selected’.

3.	All the cells in a column or a row can be directly selected by choosing the ‘use_column_selected’ and ‘use_row_selected’ parameters.

4.	Specifying ‘row range’ and ‘column range’ allows to modify the contents of multiple cells. For example, row range = 1,2 and column range = 3 will alter the cells (1,3) and (2,3).

5.	Alternatively, the row or a column can be selected by specifying the name of the ‘object name’ or the ‘field name for the column’. For example, to rename ‘i_marker’ of the ‘part_3’, the ‘object_rows’ = part_3 and the ‘field_name_for_column’ = i_marker.

6.	The parameter ‘string’ specifies the new contents of the respective cells. The mode of insertion of the new contents depends on the choice ‘append’, ‘prefix’ or ‘replace’ denoted by the parameter ‘action’
