If present on the system (in the FENSAP-ICE installation directory), this file enables passage of additional options related to the graphical display.

You can override the global settings in a file in its home directory:

~/.ansys/fensapice/config/gui.txt

Available Options:

MESA=1: Enables launching fensapiceGUI_noGL and nti_3dview_noGL using software rendering. This is the default option.

MESA=0: Enables launching fensapiceGUI_GL and nti_3dview_GL, using hardware accelerated rendering. Use on machines with good display drivers, for improved display performance.

Additionally, the behavior can be overridden by launching fensapiceGUI with the -gl or – mesa command line argument.
