User input abbreviations
Abbreviations are also used to simplify the user input. As an example, to constrain the motion of a part with ID=20 in x-direction, the command BC_MOTION is used in the following way:
*BC_MOTION
P, 20, X
P, 20, X
Here P, 20 refers to a part 20 and X refers to the x-direction. A complete list of user input abbreviations follow below.
