Renaming the phases generated by Tunnel Generator

Question

Hi, 
 Is there is a quick way to rename the Phases generated by the Tunnel application in Plaxis 3D? 
 
 thanks

Hello Nadeem, 
 Apologies for my slow reaction. 
 
 If I understand you want to rename the Phase identification when one of the Tunnels are to be advancing, right? 
 The tunnel designer does not control the names of the phases. When you advance a step, PLAXIS simply runs a command like the one below: advance Tunnel_1 Phase_5 
 I can imagine if you want to rename Phase_5 to something meaningful and related to Tunnel_1 you could use a Python script that can know which tunnel you want to advance, which phase this will take place and after (or before) the advancement is done, to rename the Phase to a different name. 
 I note that the command in PLAXIS for this is (example): 
 set Phase_5.Identification "Tunnel_1_advancement_Step_3"
