ude replace instance

Replaces the "type" (that is, the definition) associated with the instance. This is useful, for example, when there are multiple modeling methods for the same physical item and one wants to switch between them.

Format:

ude replace instance
instance_name =	an existing UDE instance
with_type =	an existing UDE definition

Example:

ude replace instance &
instance_name =	.model_1.ude_inst_1 &
with_type =	.my_ude_lib.ude_def_B

Description:

Parameter	Value Type	Description
instance_name	An Existing UDE Instance	Specifies the name of an existing UDE instance whose UDE definition will be replaced.
with_type	An Existing UDE Definition	Specifies the name of an existing UDE definition that will replace the UDE definition upon which the UDE instance specified in "instance_name" is based. The definition specified here as "with_type" must be of the same "class" of UDE definitions as defined via the "isa" argument when ude create definition or ude modify definition.
