For Windows users, the program supports these drivers and capabilities:
A window device
Hidden line removal
Light source shading
If you are running the program on Windows platforms, you have three alternatives for specifying the graphics device type:
Double-click the Interactive icon in the Program Folder. Click the down arrow next to Graphics device name and select the appropriate device.
Within the program, issue the /SHOW command.
Include the device type on the program execution command line. The command option -d or -D must precede the device type, as shown below:
ansys242 -d device_type
The device type is one of the following:
WIN32
WIN32c
3D
Avoid color settings of 256 colors or lower.
Specifying an invalid device type causes the program to divert the graphics to a disk file and inhibits the opening of the menu system, even if you included the -g option on the program execution command.
