When you start the program, you can change the default jobname from file to a name that is more meaningful. To do so, activate the program as follows:

ansys242 -j newjobname

The value -j is an option indicating that a new jobname, newjobname, follows. After this command executes, all program files generated during the current run will have a filename of newjobname.ext.

If a job is running in the background, do not execute the program interactively in the same directory unless you use a different jobname.

The program can process blanks in file and directory names. If a blank appears in the file name, enclose the file name within single quotes.
