Ansys Workbench

For MI Materials Gateway for Ansys Workbench, both Windows and LInux clients are supported.

To install MI Materials Gateway onto a Linux client running Ansys Workbench:

Inside the distribution package, identify the folder for your version of the host application.

This folder contains the software component files, and an installation script (*.sh):

gateway-install-Ansyshost_version.release_version.sh

where host_version is the Ansys Workbench version and release_version is the MI Materials Gateway version.
Open a terminal window and run the installation script.
- If your Ansys Workbench installation directory is not in the default location, you must specify its location using the parameter:
```
--ansys_inc "path_to_ansys_inc_directory"
```
- To specify a non-default installation directory for the Gateway plug-in, use the parameter
```
--installdir "path_to_Gateway_install_directory"
```
  Note: If you specify a non-default location for the Gateway plug-in, you must also create an environment variable 'GATEWAY_DM_EXEDIR' and set its value to "--installdir/Platform"
If Ansys Workbench is installed in /myDirectory/ansys_inc/ you can install Gateway by typing one of the following:
```
./gateway-install-Ansyshost_version.release_version.sh --ansys_inc "/myDirectory/ansys_inc/"
```
```
bash gateway-install-Ansyshost_version.release_version.sh --ansys_inc "/myDirectory/ansys_inc/" 
```
If you want to install the Gateway plug-in to a non-default location, type one of the following and ensure that you create the required environment variable 'GATEWAY_DM_EXEDIR' with value "--installdir/Platform":
```
./gateway-install-Ansyshost_version.release_version.sh --installdir "/opt/Granta/myDirectory/"
```
```
bash gateway-install-Ansyshost_version.release_version.sh --installdir "/opt/Granta/myDirectory/" 
```
