Mismatched Data in Row/Column Fields

Mismatched Data in Row/Column Fields

In the examples above we have:

Entity type	1	2	3	4	5	6
SPHERICAL joints, data fields	N1	N2	RPS	DAMP
REVOLUTE joints, data fields	N1	N2	N3	N4	RPS	DAMP
CYLINDRICAL joints, data fields	N1	N2	N3	N4	RPS	DAMP

Therefore column #3 may contain RPS or N3 , and column #4 may contain DAMP or N4 . This is handled as follows:

The acronym header button shows the various entries, here RPS / N3 . In addition hovering the mouse over that button, as shown here, displays the details of that row/column contents by suffix type.

The data rows contain the relevant data. Here the first three entries for SPHERICAL joints contain an RPS value of 1.0, and the remaining rows show N3 node values.

The keyword editor always "knows" the type of the data in a given field, and processes it accordingly. This is significant when multiple rows are edited as described in COMMENT.
