interface separator modify
Allows modifying of an existing separator
The separator is a is a line look-alike to a embossing element separating two entities on the dialog box. It is an element to improve the readability of the contents of the dialog box.
This command helps to create the separator on the dialog box, the length of which is specified ‘width’ and the ‘height’ will specify its placement from top of the dialog box.
Specifies whether or not Adams will write separators to the Request, Graphics, Results, and Tabular Output Files when you modify the model topology in the middle of a simulation. You can change the model topology by adding Adams commands to your ACF file to activate an element, deactivate an element, change a marker position, or change the type or point of application of a force or constraint during a simulation. If you specify SEPARATOR=ON (this is the default) the analysis information will be read into Adams View, one analysis for each block of output between the separators. If you specify SEPARATOR=OFF the analysis information will be read into Adams View as a single analysis. This allow you to plot or animate the analysis from beGInning to end.

Extended Definition:
1. The preliminary parameters of the separator like location and width are set using this command. A new name can be specified for an existing separator by the parameter ‘new_separator_name’.
2. The pop-up help and documentation help can be specified in appropriate columns.
3. The separator is a element look-alike to embossing, which separated two entities on the dialog box. It has no command or function associated. It is used to improve the readability of the contents of the dialog box. The placement of the separator on the dialog box is decided by the location, which is the starting point of the separator line from upper left corner on the dialog box.
4. From the point specified by ‘location’ the placement of the separator below the ‘location’ is decided by the height and the length of the separator line is decided by the parameter ‘width’
