.SH ENVIRONMENT |
| 41 |
|
|
| 42 |
|
A number of environment variables are available for \fBascend\fR: |
| 43 |
|
|
| 44 |
|
ASCENDLIBRARY |
| 45 |
|
Path to ASCEND model files and external libraries. |
| 46 |
|
|
| 47 |
|
ASCENDSOLVERS |
| 48 |
|
Path to ASCEND solvers. When searching for solvers, this path |
| 49 |
|
variable is used first, then ASCENDLIBRARY is searched next as |
| 50 |
|
a fallack, and in order to allow users to use solvers stored in |
| 51 |
|
their user-configured model folder. |
| 52 |
|
|
| 53 |
|
CONOPT_PATH |
| 54 |
|
Path to libconsub3.so, if you have it. Usually defaults to /usr/lib if |
| 55 |
|
not defined. |
| 56 |
|
|
| 57 |
|
.SH USER SETTINGS |
| 58 |
|
|
| 59 |
|
ASCEND's PyGTK GUI uses a file ~/.ascend.ini to set and store user |
| 60 |
|
preferences. This file includes a setting for the value of ASCENDLIBRARY |
| 61 |
|
that is used if the variable is not present in the environment. |
| 62 |
|
|
| 63 |
|
Also kept in the .ascend.ini file are details about preferred units of |
| 64 |
|
measurement, and the most recent File..Open path, and the current |
| 65 |
|
Solver selection. More things will be stored in .ascend.ini over time. |
