This field contains the name of the cell. A valid name can contain any of the characters
a-z,
A-Z,
0-9, and the underscore (
_) and cannot contain any whitespace characters. Names cannot be longer than 22 characters in length and must start with an alphabetic character.
Note: Whilst
ACE enforces these rules when running interactively, it will happily read in cell files whose element names break these restrictions. This implies that you can create element names that are longer than 22 characters, that contain special characters or that begin with a non-alphabetic first character. However, future releases may reject such names - and possibly the entire cell file - so breaking the rules is not recommended.
Names do not have to be unique; however, special care should be taken when naming
block definition cells or
file reference cells and when referencing them as
instance cells.
The default name is "none".
