*ABBR, Abbr, String
Defines an abbreviation.
AbbrThe abbreviation (up to 8 alphanumeric characters) used to
represent the string String. If Abbr is
the same as an existing ANSYS command, the abbreviation overrides. Avoid
using an Abbr which is the same as an ANSYS command.
StringString of characters (60 maximum) represented by Abbr.
Cannot include a $ or any of the commands C***, /COM,
/GOPR, /NOPR, /QUIT,
/UI, or *END. Parameter names and
commands of the *DO and Use the *IF groups
may not be abbreviated. If String is blank, the
abbreviation is deleted. To abbreviate multiple commands, create an "unknown
command" macro or define String to execute a macro
file [*USE] containing the desired commands.
Once the abbreviation Abbr is defined, you
can issue it at the beginning of a command line and follow it with a blank
(or with a comma and appended data), and the program will substitute the string
String for Abbr as
the line is executed. Up to 100 abbreviations may exist at any time and are
available throughout the program. Abbreviations may be redefined or deleted
at any time.
Use *STATUS to display the current list of abbreviations.
For abbreviations repeated with *REPEAT, substitution occurs
before the repeat increments are applied. There are a number of abbreviations
that are predefined by the program (these can be deleted by using the blank String option
described above). Note that String will be written
to the File.LOG.
This command is valid in any processor.
