MODEL > RENUMBER Renumbering Models and/or Their Contents

This command is useful for renumbering models, or whole categories within models and, while you can use it to renumber individual items, it may be easier to edit them directly.

A brief description of each option is given below, follow the hyper-links for more information.

• Renumber contents lets you renumber the contents of a model.
  
  
• Change model id lets you renumber the label of a model itself (not its contents).
  
  
• Condense model ids renumbers <n> models from 1 to n. (Only the model ids themselves are renumbered, their contents are unchanged)
  
  
• Renumber selection renumber items selected via an object menu

• Set MID->PID establishes a *MAT card for every part using the same label. If more than one part uses the same material, then a copy of the material is created. This does not apply for *PART_COMPOSITE parts that can refer to > 1 material.
  
  
• MAT24 LCSS/LCSR sets a unique load curve or table id on the material (MAT24) cards that use the same curve or table. Copies are made of the curve / table in order to achieve this.

• Condense mats reverses the effect of set MID->PID by removing duplicated material cards. Material titles are ignored by default but the option may be switched to consider. By default curve labels are compared, but an option may be set to inspect the x y data instead of the label
  
  
• Set SID->PID establishes a *SECTION card for every part using same label. Again, if more than one part uses the same section, then a copy of the section card is created
  
  
• Renumber includes lets the user renumber ranges for general types and for types with explicitly relevant labels for the master file and for one or more include files.
  
  
• Declash labels will offer the user the option to declash all element, set and material labels
  
  
• Visualise displays the distribution of labels in a model by type in diagram form.
  
  
• Label range sets the limits on labels used when checking a model. Labels can lie in the traditional 8 digit "small" format range of 1 - 99,999,999; or can use 15 or 18 digit labels in "large" format output. See "Wide" keyword format and "large" labels for more infomation.

• Lock label ranges provides a means to lock a range of labels for one or more entity types lying in one or more includes against renumbering.
