Option

Description

NUSOL_DLL_DIR      

Specifies the path of the MotionSolve binaries:

[install-path]\hwsolvers\motionsolve\bin\<platform>.

PATH

Specifies the location of liblmx-altair.dll required for licensing:

[install-path]\hwsolvers\common\bin\<platform>

RADFLEX_PATH

Specifies the path of the MotionSolve licensing management executable:

[install-path]\hwsolvers\common\bin\<platform>

LD_LIBRARY_PATH (Linux only)

Specifies the path of any libraries that are loaded at runtime, for example, certain MotionSolve libraries:

[install-path]\hwsolvers\motionsolve\bin\linux64

Also, the MotionSolve licensing management executable:

[install-path]\hwsolvers\common\bin\linux64

ALTAIR_LICENSE_PATH

Specifies a valid path for the Altair License File or a valid Altair License Server. This environment variable is not needed when running MotionSolve via the script motionsolve.bat

PYTHONHOME

Specifies the location of the Python home directory in the MotionSolve installation, required when running simulations (or co-simulation with MotionSolve) for models that have Python user subroutines, for example:

[install-path]\hwsolvers\common\python\python27\<platform>

Option

Description

MATLABROOT

Sets the root directory for a MATLAB installation, which is required for batch co-simulation runs.

MS_ADR_MAPPING_FILE

Specifies the ADR translator mapping file.

MS_CUSTOM_MAPPING_FILE

Specifies the default custom mapping XML file.

MS_H3DFILE_DIR

Enables you to set one or more paths to folders where MotionSolve will search for flexbodies if MotionSolve cannot find the flexbody file from the path located in the model file.  Note that in the case where no path is specified in the model file, MotionSolve looks for the flexbody file in the directory where the solver input file resides. 

MS_USERDLL_DIR  

Specifies the list of folders to be searched for the MotionSolve user-written subroutine DLLs/Python scripts.  Separate folder names with a semi-colon (;).

MS_USERSUBDLL      

Specifies the filename for the MotionSolve user-written subroutine DLL file.

MS_XSD_FILE    

Specifies the XML Schema Description file (XSD) path to be written to the MotionSolve XML file.  The XSD file can be used by certain XML editors to validate the XML input file and check for syntax errors.

MS_XSL_FILE    

Specifies the XML Stylesheet Language file (XSL) path to be written to the MotionSolve XML file.  The XSL file can be used by Internet browsers and certain XML editors to render the XML input file into a tabular format specified in the XSL file.

MS_PLT_UNIQUE_TIME

May be set to FIRST, LAST, or ALL to control which outputs are written to the .plt file when multiple outputs occur at the same time.

MS_AS_PORT

Specifies an alternate port number for socket communication used in co-simulation between MotionSolve and AcuSolve. If not set, the default port number 94043 is used.

MSOLVE_PLT_EXTENSION

Changes the extension of the PLT file.  For example:

set MSOLVE_PLT_EXTENSION=req

PYTHONPATH

Specifies the Python path to select a different version of Python for user subroutines.

PYTHONHOME

Specifies the Python home directory to select a different version of Python for user subroutines.
