Description This command sets the name string for a given surface roughness node.
Syntax SurfRoughSetName roughNode, roughName
Parameters roughNode As Long Node number of the surface roughness model being modified.
roughName As String String name being set for roughNode.
Example The following example creates a surface roughness model with a Gaussian distribution according to a specified HWHM.
