Obtaining the Names of Quantities - Ultramarine.com Obtaining the Names of Quantities

Often it is useful to be able to obtain a list of names which are available in the database. In MOSES, one can obtain such a list by issuing the command: 


     &NAMES, NAME,  -OPTIONS

where the available options are the options of the &REP_SELECT command and -HARD, or using the string function 


     &NAMES(NAME,  :SELECTOR)

The value of NAME defines the category for which names will be listed and it must be one of:

BODIES Active Bodies
CATEGORIES Categories
CLASSES Classes
COMPARTMENTSCompartments
CONNECTORS Connectors
DMARKS Draft Marks
DURATIONS Durations
ELEMENTS Active Elements
ENVIRONMENTSEnvironments
GRIDS Grids
HOLES Holes

SELECTORS Selection Criteria
SHAPES Shapes
SN SN Curves
SOILS Soils
TVARS Time Variations
VARIABLES Global Variables
S_CASES Structural Solution Cases
R_CASES Structural Report Cases
NG_S_CASES Non Converged Structural Solution Cases

When the &NAMES command is issued, the resulting list will be displayed at the terminal unless the option -HARD is specified. Also, when using the string function the results will be limited to only those names which match :SELECTOR.
