Sets QueMgr definitions. For more information see Organization Environment Variables (p. 103) in the Patran Analysis Manager User’s Guide. Applicable to UNIX installations only.

UNIX

Windows

Patran v2001 and later reference the template database to convert databases from earlier versions. Since the Patran PAMCRASH, LSDYNA3D, and SAMCEF require custom template databases (see Creating Custom Template Databases, 74), these variables allow the custom database to be referenced. See Patran Custom Database Conversion, 78 for additional information.

Specifies Patran to use the HTML helpsystem.

Specifies the location of the HTML Browser for the context sensitive HTML help, e.g., c:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe

Specifies the location of the HTML help files directory, e.g., $P3_HOME/helpfiles/html_patran/

When this variable is not set, the default set of help files from the MSC Software website are accessed:

For other sets of documentation, set your P3_HELP_DIRECTORY environment variable to:

Specifies the maximum amount of virtual memory the Patran database system (PDB) will access. Set this value prior to executing Patran.

The minimum allowable value is 10MB (10485760) and the maximum allowable value is 2GB (2097152000). You can also use the word AUTO to automatically specify 75% usage of available memory. Or you can specify a percentage after the AUTO (e.g. AUTO90 or AUTO70) to specify the percentage of memory to use. For additional information see Patran Database Caching and Swapping, 76.

Specifies the version of the Interop libraries that Patran will use when importing CAD models. Can be set to r18_sp3_1, r20 or r20sp1 as long as all or any of those spatial version are installed with Patran.

Specifies the locally mounted directory in which a scratch/swap file is to be allocated, if necessary. The setting of this value only takes effect before swapping starts.
The default is NULL, which causes the value stored in the unix TMPDIR environment variable, or the value stored in the Windows TMP environment variable to be used if they
are set.
For additional information see Patran Database Caching and Swapping, 76.
