scratch Directory 6.8-EF1

scratch Directory 6.8-EF1

(OP)
I want to change the work directory from C:\temp to a folder on the Z drive.  I added the following line to the abaqus_v6.env file and the release_abaqus_v6.env
scratch = "Z:\\Frank\Analysis"

The directory hasn't changed.  I still have version 6.7 installed so it may be related to that but I tried adding the line to those .env files as well.

Any thoughts?

 

RE: scratch Directory 6.8-EF1

double back-slash should be single back-slash ??

RE: scratch Directory 6.8-EF1

(OP)
I tried that first with no luck but saw somewhere that the double slash was used.

RE: scratch Directory 6.8-EF1

You should edit the Abaqus shortcut and modify the 'Start in" directory.
