Environment setup

Before running analyses you need to add some environment variables to your shell.

Workstation installation

The command to do this depends on whether your shell is a Bourne shell or a C shell.

Tip: To show your shell name, run the command:

echo $SHELL

If it prints "csh" or "tcsh", then it a C shell derivative. Otherwise it is a Bourne shell derivative.

Bourne shell

On Bourne shells, use the . (dot) command to source the environment into the current shell:

. /opt/Autodesk/moldflow/ami2015/etc/MFENV.sh

Note: The workstation installer installs by default to the directory

/opt/Autodesk/moldflow/ami2015.

Alter the above path if your installation is in a different location

These settings will apply until you close this shell.

Tip: To make the changes permanent, you can add the above command to the .profile file in your home directory.

C shell

On C shells, use the source command to source the environment into the current shell:

source /opt/Autodesk/moldflow/ami2015/etc/MFENV.csh

Note: The workstation installer installs by default to the directory

/opt/Autodesk/moldflow/ami2015.

Alter the above path if your installation is in a different location.

These settings will apply until you close this shell.

Tip: To make the changes permanent, you can add the above command to the .login file in your home directory.

Thin client installation

It is assumed that you are using a Bourne shell derivative.

Use the . (dot) command to source the environment into the current shell:

. /path/to/installed/files/mfclient.env

Note: The thin client installer is installed to a directory chosen by your system administrator. Change the above path as appropriate.

These settings will apply until you close this shell.

Note: To make the changes permanent, you can add the above command to the .profile file in your home directory.
