*TAXIS

*TAXIS, ParmLoc, nAxis, Val1, Val2, Val3, Val4, Val5, Val6, Val7, Val8, Val9, Val10
Defines table index numbers.

APDL: Parameters

Argument Descriptions

ParmLoc

Name and starting location in the table array parameter for indexing. Indexing occurs along the axis defined with nAxis.

nAxis

Axis along which indexing occurs. Valid labels are:

1 --: Corresponds to Row. Default.
2 --: Corresponds to Column.
3 --: Corresponds to Plane.
4 --: Corresponds to Book.
5 --: Corresponds to Shelf.
ALL --: Lists all index numbers. Valid only if Val1 = LIST.

Val1, Val2, Val3, . . . , Val10

Values of the index numbers for the axis nAxis, starting from the table array parameter location ParmLoc. You can define up to ten values.

To list the index values specified with nAxis, issue Val1 = LIST. If Val1 = LIST, Val2 - Val10 are ignored.

Notes

*TAXIS is a convenient method to define table index values. These values reside in the zero column, row, etc. Instead of filling values in these zero location spots, use the *TAXIS command. For example,

*TAXIS,longtable(1,4,1,1),2,1.0,2.2,3.5,4.7,5.9

would fill index values 1.0, 2.2, 3.5, 4.7, and 5.9 in nAxis 2 (column location), starting at location 4.

To list index numbers, issue *TAXIS,ParmLoc, nAxis, LIST, where nAxis = 1 through 5 or ALL.
