To check or modify the default naming conventions, choose the File preferences menu item next.
File preferences
In the File preferences menu, you can specify the naming convention for files by selecting one of the following options:
Short names specifies that filenames will not consist of a prefix and suffix.
Prefix specifies that filenames will consist of a prefix and a suffix (
prefix.suffix
). When you choose this option, you will be asked to specify the prefix. The prefix can have up to 80 characters, and the suffix is a three-character string that corresponds to the short name of the file (see Table 5.1: Files Written and Read by Ansys Polydata and Ansys Polyflow).
