4.7.4. Modeling Tips

Copy & Paste the Expression in Expression List

The user can copy and paste an expression function in Expression List. This function is possible in the same model only, because if the models are different each other, Argument List of Expression can be changed.

  • When the user copies the Expression Function, the user should click the right mouse button after the mouse cursor is put on the expression.

Check Expression Parenthesis

In case of parentheses are in the expression, the user can see highlighted parentheses and RecurDyn can check the pair of parenthesis.
If the user is using full-width character set, full-width parentheses are changed into half-width parentheses on closing Expression dialog.
