Map Body Names

Map Body Names is used to assign a new name to bodies as the new names are used in scripts. When this option is invoked, "Map Body Names" dialog will open. This will list the body names in the selected model and a new name is to be assigned. This new name should be the same name as used in the script file. To help this mapping process, users can add a file names.dat that contains the list of body names used in the script. These names will appear in the drop down list in New Name column cells. Once the old names are associated to a new name, click on Save. This will save Name_mapping.xml file in the project folder.

After associating the new name to the bodies, select Save in the dialog. It will create an xml file(Name_Mapping.xml) in the project folder.

A sample Name_mapping.xml file

Note: Without selecting the project folder, bodies can be renamed by using Map body names. Click on the Map body names will ask user to select a name mapping template file(*.dat). Body names listed under *.dat file will be loaded in Map body names dialog and then user can assign the new body names.
