Modifies a request.

Learn about Creating Requests.

For the option:	Do the following:
Tips on Entering Object Names in Text Boxes.
Request Name	Enter the name of the request to modify.
Adams Id	Assign a unique ID number to the request. See Adams Solver ID.
Comments	Add any comments about the request to help you manage and identify it. See Comments.
Define Using Type & Markers/Define Using Function Expressions/Define Using Subroutines	Set to: ■Define Using Type & Markers ■Define Using Function Expressions ■Define Using Subroutines
If you selected Define Using Type & Markers, the following options appear:
Output Type	Select the type of output (Displacement, Velocity, Acceleration, or Force).
I Marker/J Marker/R Marker	Specify the markers with respect to which the output will be calculated.
If you selected Define Using Subroutines, the following options appear:
User Function	Enter parameters to the user-written subroutine REQSUB. Enter the user function using the following format where r1 through r30 are constants passed to the subroutine: r1, ..., r30. Learn About Specifying a Subroutine.
Routine	Specify an alternative library and name for the user subroutine REQSUB. Learn about specifying routines with ROUTINE Argument..
Title	If you specified to write an output file (.out), enter up to eight headings for columns of request output. Separate each heading with a comma (,). Each heading can have as many as eight alphanumeric characters, including underscores (_). The first character in each heading must be alphabetic. You cannot use a comma (,), a semicolon (;), an ampersand (&), or an exclamation point (!). If you do not want to specify a title for a particular column, use two quotation marks (" ") with no characters between them.
If you selected Define Using Function Expressions, the following options appear:
f2 , f3 , f4 , f6 , f7 , and f8	Enter function expressions in the boxes f2 , f3 , f4 , f6 , f7 , and f8 . Do not use f1 and f5 . Adams Solver uses them to hold magnitudes for the three functions that follow. You do not need to enter a function in every text box. Learn About Specifying Function Expressions.
Title	Enter a title for the top of each set of information output. The entire comment must be on one line. The title can be only eighty characters long. You can use blank spaces and all alphanumeric characters. However, you cannot use the comma (,), the semicolon (;), the ampersand (&), and the exclamation point (!).
