PATH
The directory path to be used for material library files.
The /MPLIB command sets two path strings used in conjunction with the material library feature and the MPREAD and MPWRITE commands.
For MPREAD, when you use the LIB
option
and no directory path is given in the file name, the command searches for
the file in these locations: the current working directory, the user's home
directory, the user-specified material library directory (as defined by the /MPLIB,READ,PATH
command),
and /ansys_dir
/matlib.
For MPWRITE, when you use
the LIB
option and the directory portion of the
specification for the material library file is blank, the command writes the
material library file to the directory specified by the /MPLIB,WRITE,PATH
command
(if that path has been set). If the path has not been set, the default is
to write the file to the current working directory.
The Material Library files supplied with the distribution media are meant for demonstration purposes only. These files are not intended for use in customer applications.
