Notes

Use this command to change the listed values in a data set in a results file. Using this command does not change any actual model data; it affects only the values listed in the results file.

The modify command is valid only in the results file editing processor (auxiliary processor AUX3), and, like the other AUX3 commands, it only affects the data steps index (DSI), time (TIM), loadstep, substep and cumulative step iteration (LSP) records in the results file.

Example Usage If you start with the following results file:

SET   TIME/FREQ    LOAD STEP   SUBSTEP  CUMULATIVE
 1     1.0000          1          1         1
 first load set

 2     2.0000           2          1         2
 second load set

 3     3.0000           3          1         3
 third load set

 4     4.0000           4          1         4
 fourth load set

and you then issue the following commands:

/title, modified title for set number 3
modify,3,5,2,5,4.5,1

The modified results file would look like this:

SET   TIME/FREQ    LOAD STEP   SUBSTEP  CUMULATIVE
 1     1.0000          1          1         1
 first load set

 2     2.0000           2          1         2
 second load set

 3     4.5000           5          2         5
 modified title for set number 3

 4     4.0000           4          1         4
 fourth load set
