Comments

Beginning at one, MotionView incrementally assigns numbers to all entities in a model. These numbers can be used in an ID scheme statement to construct solver ID numbers. *SetEntityID() lets you assign a specific ID number to a particular entity, instead of using the ID number generated using the ID scheme.
