How to rename multiple image files (jobname000.tif, jobname001.tif, etc.)
  This batch script renames the files specified as an argument. It is called "myren1.bat" and can be used in DOS as follows:

myren1 file 2

which will do the following commands:

mv file001.tif file001_2.tif
mv file002.tif file002_2.tif
...etc...

The first argument to "myren1" is the jobname and the second is your "load case" number.

Put this "myren1.bat" DOS batch script in C:\winnt\system32 and you will have access to it all the time. Then, in ANSYS, you can use:

/SYP,myren1,file,2

and this will do the same commands as note above.
You can easily make a similar csh/ksh/sh script for UNIX, if you need this for UNIX as well. In C-shell, it is the "foreach" command.

DIR /B * | FIND "%1" | FIND "tif" | FIND /V "_" > temp.tmp
FOR /F %%i IN (temp.tmp) DO REN %%i %%~ni_%2.tif
