Is there a method to specify an specific folder other than the one in the project database in the Local Hard drive to store Flexible body files?

Hello,

We are looking for a environmental variable or equivalent method to specify a predefined location where to store the flexible body files (.mnf).

To give an example, there is the possibility to do a similar procedure to use subroutines in ADAMS/Car: "Use a common folder for all the subroutines: The environment variable MDI_USER_PLUGIN_DIR can be used to specify a comma-separated list of locations where Adams/Solver library files (.dll, .sl, .so) exist." Do we have an equivalent for Flexible bodies?

Any suggestion?

Well in that case you didn't get the idea of A/Car databases and you create loads of obsolete data on your HDD (mnfs usually have huge file size)

By using <my_database>/flex_bodies.tbl/xxx.mnf you already have a fixed & reproduceable destination.

If you "move" or "copy" the whole project, it means you relocate the whole cdb as all your model is there, too.

You can even "switch cdb's" by simply changing some "!" chars in your .acar.cfg

DATABASE example /home/xxx/DATABASES/yyy.cdb

!DATABASE example /home/xxx/DATABASES/alternative_yyy.cdb
