CONFIGURATION FILE
Three configuration files (.DynaformDefault, dynaformhardcopydefault and dynaform.ini) are created to set all the control parameters. They are, by default, located in the DYNAFORM installation directory on PC. They are located in the user's home directory on UNIX/LINUX. This file requires super-user privilege to modify.
DynaformDefault primarily controls the DYNAFORM default setting of analysis parameters. Each parameter has a control flag to control permission for modification. The format of each control parameter appears as follows:
¡°Keyword value permission key¡±.
The user can modify the default settings of most parameters related to a simulation.
Dynaformhardcopydefault controls the DYNAFORM default setting of the print. The format of each control parameter appears as follows:
¡°Keyword value¡±
The user can modify the default settings of most parameters related to the print.
dynaform.ini is provided to save the customized setting in the database or in the user¡¯s home directory. The format of each parameter is as follows:
#DYNAFORM5.1 configure file
#[keywords] value
#[FILE_DIALOG_STYLE]: 0 - WINDOWS style, 1 - UNIX STYLE
#[SYSTEM_LANGUAGE]: 0 - ENGLISH, 1 - CHINESE, 2 - JAPANESE, 3 - KOREAN
#[AUTOBACKUPTIME]: <=0 - don't autobackup, >0 - backup time( minutes )
#[AUTORESTART]: 0 - don't autorestart, 1 - autorestart.
