HM_DONOT_READ_SETTING_FILES

Determines the action taken if HyperWorks crashes during invoke.

Syntax

HM_DONOT_READ_SETTING_FILES mode

Type

HyperMesh Environment Variable

Description

Any invoke after a crash automatically bundles setting files like hmmenu.set, hmsettings.tcl and the current command file in a zip file and also automatically sets this environment variable (HM_DONOT_READ_SETTING_FILES). This prevents reading the setting files during the subsequent invoke. You can also set this environment variable manually even if you don’t run into an invoke crash knowing that it will skip reading the setting files during invoke.

The subsequent launch after the invoke crash notifies you about the crash with a pop up message with additional details.

Note: Once the environment variable is set, you lose the information stored in the settings files. This includes
  • User interface layout settings such as tab locations, panel location, command window, and tooltar location.
  • Keyboard preferences.
  • Import/export settings.
  • Recently opened files.
  • Other varions settings.
You can always go back and remove the environment variable.

Examples

To set the mode to skip reading the setting files during invoke: HM_DONOT_READ_SETTING_FILES 1.

Errors

None.
