The User Interface group includes the following categories and preferences:
| Category | Preference | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Display | Number of Significant Digits | Sets the number of digits that appear for numbers in Ansys simulation environments. The default is 5 and possible values are 3 through 10. This preference affects only the numbers that are displayed. It does not imply any numerical round-off of internal calculations. When a user-entered number has a decimal halfway between two integers, the number is rounded to the nearest even integer. For example, a value of 20.5 is rounded down to 20, while a value of 21.5 is rounded up to 22. |

| Omit Text on Toolbars | This preference is not supported in the Mechanical application. | |
| File Management | Folder of Temporary Files | Specify the directory where the application writes temporary files. The
