Variable name: | Variable value: | What it does: |
|---|---|---|
ADAMS_GUI_LOCALE = english or ADAMS_GUI_LOCALE = japanese or ADAMS_GUI_LOCALE = chinese | Setting the language. Default locale is english. If set to japanese or chinese, the default font used for the Windows platforms is Arial Unicode MS, and for Linux platforms it is Helvetica [Sazanami]. | |
MDI_AVIEW_BITMAPS MDI_AUX_BITMAPS | Search path(s) for bitmap files. Entries are separated with a colon (:) on Linux and semicolon (;) on Windows. | |
MDI_AVIEW_DDE | Windows only When set, makes available several language functions used for DDE. | |
MDI_AVIEW_EXPERIMENTAL | ||
MDI_COURIERFONT_SIZE | Size of text in multi-line fields and selection lists, specified in pixels. | |
MDI_GUI_FONT_FAMILY | Any font available on your system. | Changes the default font used in Adams products. Examples include Rockwell, Arial, and Bookman. |
MDI_GUI_FONT_SIZE | Deprecated. Please use the Adams Registry Editor tool (launched from the Settings and License menu in the installation) and navigate to AView → Preferences→ fontSizeInterface | |
MDI_IGNORE_CONNECTIONS_WARNING | 1 | Suppresses the popup prompt asking if the user would like to continue with the conversion of a shell body geometry type to Parasolid despite the fact that it may take a long time due to the amount of data defining the shell geometry. This can be particularly helpful when exporting an Adams View command file (.cmd) with the option "Use Parasolid" = "Full" for a model with multiple geometries that are such large shell bodies. Suppressing the warnings will allow the user to walk away from the machine while the lengthy conversion process is underway and not fear that the .cmd export process will keep pausing awaiting for user input about each and every large shell. |
MDI_MOTIF_STYLE | X11 only If set, runs the interface in native look and feel (usually Motif on SGI, the native SGI style). | |
MDI_MENUBAR_FONTSIZE | Size of text in menubar, specified in pixels. | |
MDI_MENUITEM_FONTSIZE | Size of text in menus, specified in pixels. | |
MDI_NO_SHELL_OPT | Turn off the internal shell optimization code by setting to any value. | |
MDI_ONLINE_BROWSER | Specifies the path to the browser to use for online help on Linux and windows platforms. Do not add the path in string quote. | |
MDI_P_SCHEMA | Specifies the path for the Parasolid Schema files. | |
MDI_PARASOLID_IMPORT | For solid bodies in parasolid files, Adams View tessellates them to create a shell. By default Adams View will try to reduce the number of connections if some points are very close to each other. But, for very large parasolid files, this process can take a noticeable amount of time. Setting the variable MDI_PARASOLID_IMPORT disables this process and might improve import speeds of parasolid files. | |
MDI_PROGRESS_METER | 0 or 1 | If set, enables the progress meter dialog box when needed. If not set, the dialog will always be hidden. |
MDI_SHOW_NOWARN | Set to any value other than null to stop displaying warning messages. | |
MDI_STEREO | 0 or 1 | If set, enables stereo viewing. |
MDI_USE_DESKTOP_SETTINGS | If set to 0 or disabled, Adams View no longer tries to use colors and fonts that can be defined by the user under the Appearance tab in the Windows Display Properties dialog. This will help Adams View not to freeze for minutes on Windows, after such events as using a screen saver. There are two possible causes for Adams View to freeze occasionally: either a device driver (video cards are the usual suspects) causes this problem, or Windows sends out lots of unexpected events that keep Adams busy. Typically, the CPU usage is 0 in the first case, while the aview process hogs one CPU completely in the latter case. That CPU usage is caused by an unexpectedly high number of a certain system event that is repeatedly sent by Windows. | |
MDI_WARN_RECURSIVE | Turns on dump of expressions in which recursion has been detected. This is a debug aid for very advanced users. | |
MDI_X11_FONT_PATTERN | X11 only Allows you to specify the general interface font with an X11 font pattern. | |
MSC_FLATTEN_ADM | 0 or 1 | Specifies the level of hierarchy in the adams_view_name tag. Currently, all datasets are written with full hierarchical names in the adams_view_name tags. This allows XML results files created with an external solver to be read in while retaining the same hierarchy as the model. This benefits applications that use model hierarchy (UDEs, submodels, and so on) and simulate with the external solver. To restore the previous behavior, set the environment variable to 1. |
MSC_HELP_WIN_OPEN | Opens a new browser window on Linux. Set to new (for Netscape) or newtab (for Mozilla). | |
MSC_RESULTS_DOM | 1 | Specifies that the DOM xml result reader is used whenever XML result files are read into Adams. Absence of this environment variable will cause the SAX result file reader to be invoked. The SAX result file reader reduces the memory footprint and the time required to read XML result files. Note that the end result of using both the DOM and the SAX parsers is the same, the only difference will be the time required for reading in the files and memory consumed for the reading process. |
Note: | Some environment variables (MDI_PROGRESS_METER, for example) are only considered set if their value is either 1 or enabled (without quotes, case insensitive). |
