/DBENCRYPT

/DBENCRYPT, KeyA, KeyB, DataType, NUM1, NUM2, INC
Controls encryption of material data in the database file.

KeyA: Encryption key A (32-character maximum). This key is used to encrypt the data in a one-level encryption or to control access to the data in a two-level encryption.
KeyB: Encryption key B (32-character maximum). This key is used to encrypt the data in a two-level encryption . If KeyB is not specified, a one-level encryption is used to encrypt the data.
DataType: Type of data to encrypt. Must be set to MAT for material data.
NUM1, NUM2, INC: Encrypt materials from material number NUM1 to NUM2 (defaults to NUM1) in steps of INC (defaults to 1). If NUM1 = ALL (default), NUM2 and INC are ignored.

Notes

This command encrypts data in the database file. It must be issued before saving the database file (SAVE command).

For a one-level encryption, specify only KeyA and set NUM1 to ALL. (NUM2 and INC are not used.)

For a two-level encryption, specify both KeyA and KeyB. Also specify NUM1, NUM2, and INC as needed.

For more information about using /DBENCRYPT in the encryption/decryption procedure, see Encrypting Material Data in the Ansys Parametric Design Language Guide. See also the /DBDECRYPT command.

This command is valid in any processor.

This command cannot be accessed from a menu.
