RE: How to set name of user water level in python API?

This only works with user-generated water levels: the water levels generated by boreholes cannot be updated.
Also note that each object should have a valid, safe object name, meaning e.g. it cannot contain spaces, start with a number, or have unsupported characters in the name, like a dot or a dash/hyphen.

If you have a user water level, as you have in the above example it should work:

# set water level elevation:
WaterLevelLeft = -1.5

# create a new PLAXIS User water level:
waterlevel_s = g_i.waterlevel((-50, WaterLevelLeft), (0, WaterLevelLeft))

# construct the new name for the water level:
newWLname = "WL_Left_" + str(WaterLevelLeft)

# remove any incorrect object name conditions:
newWLname = newWLname.replace(".","_").replace("-","_")

# finally, set the .Name value for this new waterlevel:
waterlevel_s.Name = newWLname
