Setting Journaling Preferences

You can set journaling preferences such as automatically producing a journal for every project, the default directory where journals are to be written, and how long to keep a journal file:

  1. In Ansys Workbench, select Tools > Options > Journals and Logs.

  2. To have Ansys Workbench automatically write journal files, select Record Journal Files.

  3. Specify the default location where journal files are to be written.

    This is the location that the file browser will open in automatically when you choose to begin recording a journal. You will still be able to browse to a different location before saving a particular journal.

  4. Specify the number of days to keep a journal file.

  5. Specify how long (in seconds) to pause between each command when running a journal file.

  6. Click OK to save your settings.
