HOW TO - Create an Environment Variable

Authored by Nick Heberle April 12th, 2022 159 views 0 likes KB1335336

Description

Some Ansys settings are configured via Environment Variables, a component in the Windows operating system.  Environment variables are typically written as VARIABLE_NAME=VARIABLE_VALUE.

Solution

Delete

Ansys utilizes System environment variables (unless otherwise noted in the guide/instructions you are following), and you'll need Local Administrator rights on the workstation to change or create System environment variables.

  1. Search for Environment Variables and click on Edit the system environment variables
  2. In the System Properties dialog that opens, click on Environment Variables
  3. Under System Variables, click New
  4. Enter the name and value in the fields
  5. Click OK on dialogs to save changes and close the windows.
