Use the Find and Replace tool to search the entity names in your model for every occurrence of a specific character, and automatically replace the character with a new one that you specify. For example, using " . " may cause errors in certain solvers, therefore you may want to replace it with a new character.
To use the Find and Replace tool:
1. | In the Abaqus Utility menu, click Find and Replace. The Find and Replace dialog opens. |
2. | In the Replace What field, enter the character you want to find. |
3. | In the Replace With field, enter the character you would like to replace the the existing character with. |
4. | Set the Entity Type selector to ALL or to a specific entity type. |
5. | Optional: If you set the Entity Type selector to a specific entity type, you can activate the selector and select specific entities to perform the find and replace on. |
