3.1.1. The Site-wide Configuration Files

If you are accessing your Ansys CFX files from a remote file system, your System Administrator may create site-wide resource configuration files. Ansys CFX first looks for such files in the following order:

  1. <CFXROOT>/config/cfx5rc-<host>.txt

  2. <CFXROOT>/config/cfx5rc-<arch>.txt

  3. <CFXROOT>/config/cfx5rc-<os>.txt

  4. <CFXROOT>/config/cfx5rc.txt

  5. <CFXROOT>/config/cfx5rc-site.txt

where:

  • host is the hostname of the machine on which Ansys CFX is running.

  • arch is the architecture of the machine on which Ansys CFX is running.

  • os is the operating system of the machine on which Ansys CFX is running.

You can find the value of host, arch, and os by selecting Show > Show System from the menu bar of the Ansys CFX Launcher. On Windows, the value of os is winnt.


Note:  Any resources set in these files will affect all users of Ansys CFX, unless users override these variables in their personal user’s Ansys CFX resource configuration files.
