List sorted by Category:
| Name | Location - Category | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|
| CEI_FONT_GLYPHCACHESIZE | Client - Font | Number of font characters to keep in memory at a given time (default 500). Increasing this number will use more memory but may increase rendering speed if many different characters are in use. | |
| CEI_FONT_NOSYSTEMFONTS | Client - Font | Disable the loading of fonts from the system directories, and use only the fonts provided by Ansys. | |
| CEI_FONTPATH | Client - Font | A list of ":" separated directories (";" on Windows) where EnSight looks for .ttf and .ttc font files. | |
| ENSIGHT_FONT_DEFAULT_ANNOT | Client - Font | Specify family to be used for annotation defaults | |
| ENSIGHT_FONT_DEFAULT_ANNOT_STYLE | Client - Font | Specify style to be used for annotation defaults | |
| ENSIGHT_FONT_DEFAULT_OUTLINE | Client - Font | Specify family to be used for ID and axis defaults | |
| ENSIGHT_FONT_DEFAULT_OUTLINE_SCALE | Client - Font | Specify the relative scale for the outline font. (The value 100.0 is the default, 200.0 is 2x larger, 50.0 is 1/2 size). | |
| ENSIGHT_FONT_DEFAULT_OUTLINE_STYLE | Client - Font | Specify style to be used for ID and axis defaults | |
| ENSIGHT_FONT_DEFAULT_SYMBOL | Client - Font | Specify family to be used instead of the symbol font | |
| ENSIGHT_FONT_DEFAULT_SYMBOL_STYLE | Client - Font | Specify style to be used with the symbol font | |

| CEI_PIXELFORMAT_ST | Client - Graphics | Specify pixel format for stereo rendering | |
| CVF_NO_WM_OVERRIDE | Client - Graphics | Change the behavior of detached displays so that the 'OverrideRedirect' attribute is not used on the window. | |
| ENSIGHT_PICK_SCALE | Client - Graphics | If > 1, modifies the scaling of the GL viewport | |
| CEI_RSH | Client/SoS - Networking | Alternative to default ssh command | |
| CVF_COMM2_NAGLE | Client/Server - Networking | Enable Nagle (RFC896) network feature (on by default). | |
| ENSIGHT10_SOCKBUF | Client/SoS/Server - Networking | Sets socket buffer size (can be different between client and server) | |
| DISPLAY | Client - Other | Do not remote the display from a different machine as this is inefficient and prone to problems. Run the client on your local machine and the server remotely and connect them as EnSight is optimized for this configuration. | |
| ENSIGHT_ANSYS_VERSION | Client - Other | EnSight's default interaction and styling are now aligned with the
Ansys standard, providing a consistent user experience across our
products. If desired, you may reset EnSight back to the legacy
experience by setting the environment variable
ENSIGHT_ANSYS_VERSION to
0. | |
| ENSIGHT10_MAX_CTHREADS | Client - Parallel | The maximum number of threads to use for each EnSight client. Threads in the client are used to accelerate sorting of transparent surfaces. If not defined, then the EnSight client chooses the number of threads based on the number of processors available and license limitations. | |
| ENSIGHT10_MAX_SOSTHREADS | SoS - Parallel | The maximum number of threads to use on the server of server in order to start up server processes in parallel rather than serially. If not defined, then EnSight chooses the number of threads based on the number of processors available and license limitations. | |
| ENSIGHT10_MAX_THREADS | Server - Parallel | The maximum number of threads to use for each EnSight server. Threads are used to accelerate the computation of streamlines, clips, isosurfaces, and other compute-intensive operations. If not defined, then the EnSight server chooses the number of threads based on the number of processors available and license limitations. | |
| ENSIGHT10_RES | Client/SoS/ Collab - Resources | Specify a resource file name that the client reads | |
| ENSIGHT10_SERVER_HOSTS | Client/ SoS - Resources | Specify quoted strings of space delimited host names (for example, "host1 host2 host1 host3") to be used for EnSight servers. The host names are used in the order they occur. A host name may occur multiple times | |
| LSB_MCPU_HOSTS | Client/ SoS Resources | If either the '
-use_lsf_for_servers' or ' -use_lsf_for_renderers' command line options are specified, then the client will evaluate this environment variable for resources. The environment variable specifies a quoted string such as " host1 5 host2 4 host3 1" which indicates 5 CPUs should be used on host1, 4 CPUs should be used on host2, and 1 CPU should be used on host3. The hosts will be used in a round-robin fashion. | |
| CEI | All - Path | Location of EnSight installation (required) | |
| CEI_PDFREADER | Client - Path | Application for reading EnSight .pdf help files | |
| CEI_PYTHONHOME | Client - Path | Point to a different Python runtime library. Default is CEI/apex251/machines/CEI_ARCH/python271 | |
| CEI_UDILPATH | Client - Path | A list of ":" separated directories (";" on Windows) where EnSight looks for user-defined image libraries. | |
| ENSIGHT_PATHREPLACE | Client - Path | Replaces the data path with the path found in this environment variable | |
| PATH | Client - Path | Must include $CEI/bin | |
| TMPDIR | Server - Path | Location for temporary files. Default is usually /tmp or /usr/tmp | |
| CEI_CONTROLLER_KEY | Client - Tracking | See CEI_INPUT | |
| CEI_INPUT | Client - Tracking | To specify the tracking library. To select trackd, use:
setenv CEI_INPUT trackd (for csh or equivalent users)
The value of CEI_INPUT can either be a fully-qualified
path and filename or simply the name of the driver, in which case
EnSight will load the library libuserd_input.so
from directory:
$CEI/apex251/machines/$CEI_ARCH/udi/$CEI_INPUT/
For the trackd interface you will also need to set:
CEI_TRACKER_KEY <num> CEI_CONTROLLER_KEY
<num>
| |
| CEI_TRACKD_DEBUG | Client - Tracking | Turn on debug information from the trackD user defined input library. | |
| CEI_TRACKER_KEY | Client - Tracking | See CEI_INPUT | |
| ENSIGHT10_INPUT | Client - Tracking | Input device to use for EnSight (same as CEI_INPUT) | |
| ENSIGHT10_READER | Server - User | (legacy) Path to the location of additional user-defined readers | |
| ENSIGHT20_READER | Server - User | Path to the location of additional user-defined readers (takes precedence over legacy ENSIGHT10_READER) | |
| ENSIGHT10_UDMF | Server - User | Sets directory location of user defined math functions to be loaded by EnSight at startup | |
| ENSIGHT10_UDW | Server - User | Sets directory location of user defined writers to be loaded by EnSight at startup | |
| UNSTRUCT_AUTODISTRIBUTE_USE_GHOSTS | Server - Auto-distribute | Sets unstructured server autodistribution to use ghost processing.
(Same effect as, and takes precedence over, using
-use_ghosts command line argument) | |
| UNSTRUCT_AUTODISTRIBUTE_USE_METRIC | Server - Auto-distribute | Sets unstructured server autodistribution to calculate the ghost
metric. (Same effect as, and takes precedence over, using
-use_metric command line argument) | |
| ENSIGHT_FORCE_POLYHEDRAL_CLIPCUT n | Server - Part Creation | EnSight can clip or cut with the traditional algorithm that tesselates the element faces with additional face elements or the polyhedral algorithm that shows the clipped/cut faces with the exact representation of the element face. If you always want to see a clip or cut face without additional tesselation, then use option 2. n = 0, 3D Zoo elements clipped or cut with traditional algorithm. n=1, Treat 3D Zoo elements as polyhedral only if there are polyhedral elements in the part when it is clipped or cut. n=2, Treat 3D Zoo elements as polyhedra. | |
| SLIMD8_SERVERS | Client (or Server when using server-side licensing) - License | Specifies the location of the legacy SLiM license server hostname(s) and port. setenv SLIMD8_SERVERS "huey:7790" setenv SLIMD8_SERVERS "huey:7790; dewey:8890" | |
| ANSYSLMD_LICENSE_FILE | Client - License | Sets the location of the Ansys license server and port. On Windows, this should be set for you during installation. On Linux, you may have to set this manually. setenv ANSYSLMD_LICENSE_FILE 1055@license.yourorg.com | |
| ENSIGHT10_LM | Client - License | Forces EnSight to use a specific license manager. Normally (environment variable unset), EnSight attempts to automatically detect whether to contact an Ansys license manager or a legacy SLiM license manager. Setting the environment variable to "Ansys" forces use of the Ansys license manager. Setting the environment variable to "SLiM" forces use of the legacy SLiM license manager. (Case does not matter when setting the value of this environment variable.) setenv ENSIGHT10_LM ansys setenv ENSIGHT10_LM slim | |
| ENSIGHT10_LM_BULK | Client - License | If this environment variable is set to the value
0, then bulk checkouts are disabled in
EnSight and serial checkouts are used instead. The default (variable
unset) is to allow bulk checkouts. The Ansys license manager is the
only license manager that currently supports bulk checkouts. If the
environment variable is set to a value other than
0, it counts as if it were not set.
setenv ENSIGHT10_LM_BULK 0
