defaults model

The defaults model command is used to set the location the parser uses when it is validating some object name (that is marker, joint, and so on) when the user does not start at the root node.

Format:

 
defaults model
model_name =
existing model
part_name =
existing part
flexible_body_name =
existing flex body
point_mass_name =
existing point mass
marker_name =
existing marker
joint_name =
existing joint,
geometry_name =
existing geometry

Example:

 
defaults model &
model_name =
model_1 &
part_name =
cam_part &
marker_name =
marker_1

Description:

Existing flex body
Specifies the name of a flexible body
point_mass_name

Extended Definition:

1. You may identify a model by typing its name or by picking it from the screen.
2. If the model is not visible on the screen, you must type the name.
3. You may also find it convenient to type the name even if the model is displayed.
■You must separate multiple model names by commas.
■If the model is visible in one of your views, you may identify it by picking on any of the graphics associated with it.
■You need not separate multiple model picks by commas. This also applies to identification of parts, flexible bodies, point masses, markers, joints and geometries.
 
Caution:  
1. If an entity of the specific type is created it becomes the default setting.
2. A flexible body may not have the same name as another flexible body in the same model.
3. If you set some model default values in a model, for example, Model_1, then create and navigate to another model, for example, Model_2, the default settings of Model_1 will be replaced by those of Model_2. On navigating back to Model_1, the first part, flexible body, and so on within Model_1 will be set as the default values and the original default values set will be lost.
