CONFIGURATION FILE
Three configuration files (.dynaformDefault, dynaformhardcopydefault and dynaform.ini) are created to set all the control parameters. By default, these files are located in the ¡°My Documents¡± directory of the current user¡¯s PC. The files are located in the user's home directory on UNIX/LINUX. The modification of these files may require super-user privilege.
DynaformDefault primarily controls the default settings of analysis parameters. Each parameter has a control flag to control permission for modification. The format of each control parameter is listed as the following:
¡°Keyword value permission key¡±.
The user can modify the default settings of most parameters related to a stamping simulation.
Dynaformhardcopydefault controls the default print settings. The format of each control parameter is listed as the following:
¡°Keyword value¡±
The user can modify the default settings of most printing parameters.
