Defaults Names

Settings → Names → Dialogs

Allows you to determine whether Adams View uses full object names, short object names, or Adams Solver IDs when displaying run-time functions or object names in the Information Window and dialog boxes. This also determines the naming the Function Builder Assist box uses for object names or Adams Solver IDs to generate run-time functions.

Settings → Names → Icons

Allows you to determine whether Adams View uses full object names, short object names, or Adams Solver IDs when displaying graphics items on the graphics window.

For the option:		Do the following:
Display database references using	Dialogs	Choose from the following: ■Full Names - The object's full name. For example: DX(Model_1.Part_2.Mar_15). ■Short Names - Only the specific portion of the object's name required to uniquely identify it. Example: DX(Mar_15). ■Adams IDs - An integer used to identify the object in Adams Solver dataset (.adm) file. Example: DX(15). If you select Adams IDs, then Adams View displays short names for cases that do not involve functions (object names in dialog box text boxes).
Display database references using	Icons	Choose from the following: ■Full Names - Displays full hierarchy minus model name. For example PART.MARKER ■Short Names - Displays focal object name only. For example MARKER. ■Adams IDs - An integer used to identify the object in Adams Solver dataset (.adm) file. If you select Adams IDs, then Adams view displays Adams Solver ID number only.

Note:

Regardless of the option you choose, you can enter the object's full or short name or its Adams Solver ID while writing functions.
