Summary
This article describes how to start Simcenter Samcef 2306 through Simcenter 3D 2306 from a mapped drive on Windows.
Details
In order to run the Simcenter Samcef 2306 solvers from a mapped drive (remote drive) through Simcenter 3D 2306;
- Open the Windows environment variables
- Define the environment variable UGII_SAMCEF as following:
where: 1) X: corresponds to the physical drive Use the letter of the drive, don’t define the physical drive address 2) Samcef_installation\Samcef\2306 corresponds to the path of the directory where Simcenter Samcef 2306 is installed on the remote drive X
Then, calling Simcenter Samcef 2306 can be done through the following window of Simcenter 3D 2306, illustrated with an example of a Static Linear computation with Simcenter Samcef 2306 solver Asef:
Another way to call the Simcenter Samcef 2306 solvers from a mapped drive (i.e without defining the Windows environment variable UGII_SAMCEF) consists in defining the variable directly in the “Solver Parameter” window of Simcenter 3D 2306 as following:
