Environment variables are important to get everything running properly. Indeed, among others, they matter for licensing, compilation or even cosimulation with external tools. To check them, one will quite often open the Windows settings and the environment variables interface. But from time to time, because of scripts or IT rules, the environment variables seen by Simcenter Amesim could differ from the ones set up for the Windows environment.

Here below is how to check which one are used by the Simcenter Amesim instance currently opened.
