Description

This command obtains the local address. The local address can be thought of as the full variable name which starts from the ‘mdlIObject_handle’ (excluding mdlIObject_handle) instead of MODEL. For example, if there is an entity MODEL.sys_0.assem_0.b_0, the Local Address of this entity (with regard to sys_0) will be assem_0.b_0. The 'mdlIObject_handle’ is the handle of entity on which the command is executed.

Inputs

entity_varname: The variable name of an entity whose local address is desired.
