The type of entity to update. Valid values are components and elements.
entity_id
The ID of the entity.
property_name
The name of the property to assign to the entity.
If the name is specified as double quotes "" then any property collector currently assigned will be cleared.

Examples

To assign the property collector named composite_3_plies to the component ID 100:

*propertyupdateentity comps 100 "composite_3_plies"

To unassign the property collector for element 10:

*propertyupdateentity elems 10 ""

if { [ catch {command_name...} ] } {
   # Handle error
}
