Copy the 'custom_dirs.dat' file from ugii_base_dir\UGII\menus to a local folder. 2. Add modification to end of this file, eg: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(custom_dirs.dat)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ # Customers should feel free to edit this file. # #################################################################### # # Customer modifications can follow on here # U:\penderj\ugv19\rws_files ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 3. Out on your OS, create a folder named 'application' under the path name you just added to custom_dirs.dat, eg: U:\penderj\ugv19\rws_files\application 4. In the ugii_env.dat file, edit the UGII_CUSTOM_DIRECTORY_FILE to read your local copy of the custom_dirs.dat file. eg: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ugii_env.dat)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ # The UGII_CUSTOM_DIRECTORY_FILE can be used to configure the directories # in which Unigraphics will search for menu files, toolbar files, UDO libraries, # or dialog files. The data file supports the use of #include to allow users to # segregate changes into multiple files. UGII_UG_CUSTOM_DIRECTORY_FILE is # the file containing the Unigraphics Solution products. Unigraphics # will search the directores in UGII_UG_CUSTOM_DIRECTORY_FILE first, and # then the directories in UGII_CUSTOM_DIRECTORY_FILE. # # UGII_CUSTOM_DIRECTORY_FILE=U:\penderj\custom_dirs.dat ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 5. Inside UG, save the desired toolbar arrangement for Modeling, Drafting, Assemblies, etc. (Tools-> Customize-> Layout-> Save Layout). Place the .rws file inside the 'application' folder you created. Now the system will automatically load these toolbar arrangements when you restart UG and enter a UG application. 6. To restore the layout for the particular application you are in, choose 'Reset Layout' from the Tools-> Customize-> Layout dialog. NX Nastran Tips 3. How Can I Run My Job Most Efficiently? Use the following MSC/NASTRAN parameters to tune your job: 1. Increase BUFFSIZE if your model is large. Do this using NASTRAN BUFFSIZE=n $ This is machine dependent; for more information, see the NX/NASTRAN Configuration and Operations Guide. 2. Reduce the number of spill groups or passes by increasing the available memory by using the "mem" keyword (or REGION for IBM computers) on the NX NASTRAN submittal procedure. 3. If there is no spill or passes, increase smem by using the "smem" keyword on the MSC/NASTRAN submittal procedure or use INIT SCRATCH(MEM=n) where n is in NX NASTRAN blocks.
