6.13.2.4. Object Renaming

Once imported into Mechanical, automatic renaming occurs for the following objects imported from upstream systems.

Beams
Command objects
Contacts
Coordinate Systems
Cross Sections
Geometry Bodies (Solid, Surface, and Line)

Grouped tree objects
Joints
Named Selections
Point Mass
Remote Points
Springs

Based on the Object Renaming property specified in the General Model Assembly properties group, the application appends the System Name, Cell Id, or the User Specified Tag to the object name (in parenthesis). The example shown below is using the system name. In addition, if you create copies of a mesh, the application incrementally appends the name (-2, -3, etc.).

Note that there may be limitations on the naming conventions used on for Named Selections objects. See the Limitations and Restrictions for Model Assembly topic in the Mechanical Model Systems and Analysis Systems section for additional information.
