The AddDimension(dim=expr) function renames the complex dimension given by expr as dim for the current session.

To rename a dimension for all future Maple sessions, add the AddDimension command to your Maple initialization file. For more information, see Create Maple Initialization File.

A base dimension cannot be renamed.
