| INSTANCE | Activates the creation of an instance of a local part. | |
| CURRNAME | Current name of the
INSTANCE should match the name of an existing
local part in the Bulk Data section. No default (Character String) |
|
| RENAME | An instance or copy of an
existing part CURRNAME. The copy will be named
with the name specified in RENAME. When the part
RENAME exists in the Bulk Data section, then
the copy of CURRNAME is appended to it. Default = Blank (Character String) |
Comments
- If RENAME is not specified for any INSTANCE, then the name defined in CURRNAME (which is the same as the original local part name) is retained. In such cases, this local part cannot have any further instances of itself.
- If RENAME is specified, then as many instances of the part as required, can be created using multiple INSTANCE entries.
- For every instance of a part generated using INSTANCE entry, a corresponding INSTANCE Bulk Data Entry should be present in the Bulk Data section.
- Any block of entries in the input deck within the section defined between BEGIN,FEMODEL,name and END,FEMODEL,name will be silently skipped, when “name” is not listed on INSTANCE or ASSEMBLY I/O Option Entries.
