Examine the variables that can be defined in the Simulation Composite Analysis environment file.
Any variable can be left undefined, in which case Simulation Composite Analysis will use the default value.
Only applicable to network licensing.
This variable is an integer which specifies the maximum amount of time, in seconds, to wait in the license queue before terminating the analysis if a license cannot be obtained. The license queue is entered when an attempt is made to checkout a Simulation Composite Analysis license feature and they are all in use.
LICENSE_Q_MAX = 600LICENSE_Q_MAX defaults to 3600 seconds (1 hour) if not explicitly defined.
Only applicable to network licensing.
This variable is an integer which specifies the increment of time, in seconds, to ping the license server while waiting in the license queue.
LICENSE_Q_DEL = 20
LICENSE_Q_DEL defaults to 30 seconds if not explicitly defined.
Only applicable to network licensing on Linux.
This variable is integer that can take a value of 0 (off) or 1 (on). By default it is set to 0 (off). Use a value of 1 to indicate Simulation Composite Analysis is being run from a network location. In other words, Simulation Composite Analysis was not installed on the target machine. The most common use for this variable is when running on a Linux cluster.
The MATERIAL_FILE_DIR variable points Simulation Composite Analysis to the materials directory. If this variable is left out, the default is:
MATERIAL_FILE_DIR = 'ASCADIR\Materials'
where ASCADIR is replaced by the base Simulation Composite Analysis installation directory. An example of this variable is shown below for Windows:
MATERIAL_FILE_DIR = 'C:\Users\user\Materials'
and for Linux:
MATERIAL_FILE_DIR = '/usr/local/autodesk/asca2015.1/materials'
The USUB_LIB_DIR variable (not to be confused with usub_lib_dir in the abaqus_v6.env file) points Simulation Composite Analysis to the Simulation Composite Analysis user subroutine library (companU.dll or libcompanU.so). It takes the value of the directory which holds the library.
Simulation Composite Analysis first attempts to load the user subroutine library from the working directory. If one does not exist in the working directory, it checks the Simulation Composite Analysis environment file for USUB_LIB_DIR. If that is unsuccessful, it will not use a user subroutine library.
An example of USUB_LIB_DIR on Windows is shown below:
USUB_LIB_DIR = 'C:\Users\user’
and for Linux:
USUB_LIB_DIR = '/home/user'
