ADAMS INSIGHT SCRIPT

Renaming ADAMS Insight abbreviation
Renaming ADAMS/Insight (factor & response) is tedious.
 
As shown in the figure above, I have to rename the (abbreviation : r_06) to (mode16_imaginary).
 
Imagine that repeating this process for hundreds of (factors & responses). Its tedious.
 
Is there any script or way that I can rename each of these (factors & response) abbreviation automatically?

    I was annoyed by this recently, too, so I logged a Product Enhancement request on this with a suggestion similar to yours. I've also created a script that will live here:
    but the darned attachment isn't showing up at the moment. (grrrrr). We should have that fixed shortly, but here's how it works (download attached script..):
     
    c:\MSC.Software\Adams\2017\common\mdi.bat python insight_make_abbrevs.py exp.xml out_file.xml
     
    where:
    insight_make_abbrevs.py    = attached file, saved to your working directory
    exp.xml                                   = name of your Insight experiment, in working directory
    out_file.xml                            = name of new experiment, created in working directory
