DimensionElementPrincipalName
DimensionElementPrincipalName returns the principal name of an element or element alias.
TurboIntegrator must use principal element names when updating dimensions; element aliases cannot be used. This function is useful for determining principal element names while attempting to update a dimension when only element aliases are available to the TurboIntegrator process.
This function is valid in TM1® TurboIntegrator processes only.
