Can you show me how to use LASTID functionality in GAMBIT?

The user wrote: after I write down the expression $X = LASTID(t_fa) then can I go and do something else like sweep with face.$X? GAMBIT has a function called LASTID to help with these situations. You can find the info at in the documentation CD or online (need to login) at <a target=_blank href="http://www.fluentusers.com/gambit2/doc/ori/html/users_guide/ug0b.htm#1924">http://www.fluentusers.com/gambit2/doc/ori/html/users_guide/ug0b.htm#1924</a>http://www.fluentusers.com/gambit2/doc/ori/html/users_guide/ug0b.htm#1924 or for full users guide: <a target=_blank href="http://www.fluentusers.com/gambit2/doc/ori/html/users_guide/ugtoc.htm">http://www.fluentusers.com/gambit2/doc/ori/html/users_guide/ugtoc.htm</a>http://www.fluentusers.com/gambit2/doc/ori/html/users_guide/ugtoc.htm LASTID - Last Entity Identifier LASTID returns the last identification number used in the model for a specified type (entity_type) of geometric entity, zone definition, coordinate system, boundary layer, or size function. Format: LASTID(entity_type) Examples: If the most recently created face in a model is labeled face.5, the following function call returns the value five (5) to the parameter X: $X = LASTID(t_fa) Here is an input file to show how to use LASTID in a parametric journal file (tested on GAMBIT 2.1.6): /GAMBIT version 2.1.6 by AK /Jan 16, 2004 /parameters /$num is number of repeating units reset $num=2 $height=10 $radius=.5 $offset=5 $ang=360/$num / /create unit cylinder undo begingroup volume create height $height radius1 $radius radius3 $radius offset 0 0 ($height/2) zaxis frustum undo endgroup undo begingroup volume move "volume.1" offset $offset 0 0 undo endgroup / /make copies undo begingroup $i=1 do para "$i" init 1 cond ($i .le.
