Customization

Customization Tasks The ESI Group software installation script, paminst.sh asks for customization.

This customization is done by pamcust.sh which can also be used separately. To perform the customization separately, do the following:

Log in on the machine on which you want to perform customization.

Go to directory where the installation has been done.

Type ./pamcust.sh and follow the instructions. The customization script creates definitions to allow access to the ESI Group executables and configuration files for all users or for selected users, depending on the method chosen by the installer. Most definitions are contained in a file provided by ESI Software. These files are:

psi.Cenv for csh/tcsh user environment. psi.Kenv for ksh (AT&T ksh or Public Domain ksh) user environment. psi.Baenv for bash user environment.

sh is not supported due to its lack of functionalities required by ESI Group products. We recommend sh users to migrate to ksh, which preserves sh syntax and habits. There are mainly instructions added to system or site-specific files:



C Shell - .cshrc file ### ESI Group begin ### # # ESI Group Software environment # setenv PAMHOME /home/ppg/ESIGroup setenv PAMENV $PAMHOME/env-ùname` if ( -r $PAMENV/psi.Cenv ) then source $PAMENV/psi.Cenv endif ### ESI Group end ###

Korn Shell - .profile ### ESI Group begin ### # # ESI Group Software environment # PAMHOME=/home/ppg/ESIGroup; export PAMHOME PAMENV=$PAMHOME/env-ùname`; export PAMENV if [ -r $PAMENV/psi.Kenv ]; then . $PAMENV/psi.Kenv fi ENV=${ENV:} If [ -z $ENV ]; then ENV=$HOME/.kshrc; export ENV fi ### ESI Group end ###

Bourne Again Shell - .bash_profile

### ESI Group begin ### # # ESI Group Software environment # PAMHOME=/home/ppg/ESIGroup; export PAMHOME PAMENV=$PAMHOME/env-ùname`; export PAMENV if [ -r $PAMENV/psi.Baenv ]; then . $PAMENV/psi.Baenv fi BASH_ENV=${BASH_ENV:-} If [ -z $BASH_ENV ]; then ENV=$HOME/.bashrc; export BASH_ENV fi ### ESI Group end ###

When the installer chooses to customize the process for selected users (using for example .cshrc), he must repeat the customization process for each user repeatedly.

where corresponds to your CD/DVD drive.

When the software installation is completed, the product will be available in the Start/Programs/ESI Group menu or in the ESI Group icon folder on the desktop.


Installation for Visual-Local Model Advisor (VLMA)

INSTALLATION FOR VISUAL-LOCAL MODEL ADVISOR (VLMA) SYSWELD RESOURCE FILE UPDATION

VLMA 9.0 requires SYSWELD 2011.0 solver (preferably installed on the same Windows system) with additional license key (welding) and some specific resource directories for execution.

After Visual-Environment installation, please execute as administrator a script for VLMA 9.0 resource installation. This script file (install_vlma.bat) is available under VE Installation Directory/Windows-x86/Tools/VLMA path for Windows x86 32-bit platform or VE Installation Directory/Windows-x64/Tools/VLMA path for Windows x86 64-bit platform.


Installation for Visual-Local Model Advisor (VLMA)

The install_vlma.bat script will prompt for the SYSWELD 2011.0 solver installation path and accordingly create the resources required for VLMA 9.0.

This completes the installation for VLMA 9.0.


Installation of the License

INSTALLATION OF THE LICENSE Before all, you must have a valid license file.

The license file is sent separately from the software installation.

See below How to get your FLEXnet License File.

HOW TO GET YOUR FLEXNET LICENSE FILE? System information must be retrieved before you can request your FLEXnet license files.

If request is a node-locked based license file, execute c:\flexlm\lmtools.exe on each PC that will be running ESI Group software.

If request is a floating license file running on Windows, execute c:\flexlm\lmtools.exe on the station that will be the license server.

Select System Settings.

Send all the information in the left part (Hostid Settings) to your local ESI

support representative. They will send the license file to you.

Once you have received your license file(s), it/they must be moved to the appropriate directory c:\flexlm on each machine with the file name pam_lmd.lic



What to do if MAC address is "FFFFFFFF"?

The licensing tools see my hostid as "FFFFFFFF" when using a Virtual NIC even though the ipconfig command will show a different hostid for the Virtual NIC.

Virtual NICs are no longer supported in FLEXnet 11.6 and newer versions of the FLEXnet licensing software. This is not a bug, but a deliberate change in FLEXnet software behaviour.

Workaround is to un-team these Ethernet adapters or enable a disabled adapter or install a new Ethernet adapter.

If really not possible, "Disk Volume Serial Number" can eventually be used as server hostid.



STARTING THE FLEXNET LICENSE SERVER

Preliminary remark: The FLEXnet license server installation must be done with administrator rights.

This section describes the initialization of a license server based on floating license files. Node-locked license files do not require to start a server.

After ESI Group software has been installed, your pam_lmd.lic file must be moved to the appropriate directory, updated and the FLEXnet license server started.

To move and update the license file:

Move your license file to the directory c:\flexlm and name it pam_lmd.lic Using any usual text editor edit pam_lmd.lic and change $PAMHOME to

c:\flexlm\pam_lmd.exe on the line beginning with the DAEMON or VENDOR keyword.

To start the license server:

Execute c:\flexlm\lmtools.exe Select Service/License file and select Configuration using Services option (see

figure below).



Select Configure Services, adjust parameters as below and click on Save Service.

Select Start/Stop/Reread and click on Start Server (see below).

After completing these installation steps, you may run the ESI Group software.


Invoking the Application

INVOKING THE APPLICATION WINDOWS

On installation of Visual-Environment, appropriate shortcuts are created on the desktop under the folder ESI Group, as well as in the Startup menu. Execution of the required shortcuts will invoke the appropriate application.

UNIX / LINUX On installation, following alias shortcuts will be created in the user account.

visualenv Visual-Environment

vcast Visual-Cast

vcem Visual-CEM

vcd Visual-Crash DYNA

vcfd Visual-CFD

vcp Visual-Crash PAM

vcr Visual-Crash RAD

vform Visual-FORM

viewer Visual-Viewer

vlnas Visual-Life NASTRAN

vmedysa Visual-MEDYSA

vnvhia Visual-NVH & Interior Acoustics

vps Visual-VPS

vsafe Visual-Safe

vseal Visual-Seal

vshock Visual-Shock

vsm Visual-Safe MAD

vsystus Visual-SYSTUS

vvtm Visual-VTM

vweld Visual-Weld

vdbtools VDBTools for PAM Execution of required alias shortcuts will invoke appropriate application.


Troubleshooting

TROUBLESHOOTING The Windows Installation does not start automatically.

Check with regedit tool the registry key HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet \Services\Cdrom is set to 1 (i.e. autorun enabled)) How to override CD drive protection on Linux:

In newer Linux distributions, DVD/CD-ROM drives may be protected to not run malicious code. This means that users do not have the right to execute scripts directly from the drive.

The script INSTALL.SH can override this protection. The following error message may appear:

/media/VisualEnv90/INSTALL.SH: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied

It means the drive is protected and has the noexec mount option.

You can follow these instructions to get around:

Copy INSTALL.SH script in a temporary directory. Execute it by giving the drive mount point as argument.


Troubleshooting

Example:

If /media/VisualEnv90 is the drive mount point: mkdir install_temp cd install_temp cp /media/VisualEnv90/INSTALL.SH . ./INSTALL.SH /media/VisualEnv90 ################################################################# ESI Group Softwares GUI Installation Manager Script Launcher Copyright 1998 ~ 2013 ESI GROUP ################################################################# Creating temporary installer directory... done. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Invoking installation of Visual-Environment 9.0 -------------------------------------------------------------------- ESI Group GUI INSTALLATION MANAGER SCRIPT Copyright 1998~2013, ESI GROUP This script manages the gui scripts. To start the ESI Group software installation (from the CD only) Type './Paminst-gui.sh' or './Paminst-gui.sh paminst' To start the license management (from the target directory only) Type './Paminst-gui.sh lic' or './Paminst-gui.sh install_lic' still accepted for compatibility. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Unloading installation tools, 15 Mb are necessary in /tmp, please wait... Tools ready.

Only scripts files are copied in this temporary installer directory, archives containing the files to install are on the media.


Troubleshooting

The ESI Group Software will not run. If you cannot run ESI Group software because of the error

"Cannot connect to license server ... WinSock error code"

or

"Warning -15 = Cannot connect to license server..."

The FLEXnet License Server is not installed or is not running.

In the Control Panel, under Services check if the FLEXnet License Server is listed as a service. It should be listed as:

FLEXnet License Server Started Automatic

If the FLEXnet License Server is not listed:

Open a command window.

cd c:\flexlm

install c:\flexlm\lmgrd.exe

Check the Services list again.

Select the FLEXnet License Server.

Click the Start button.

The license server should start and the listing be updated.

If listed, but the status field is blank:

Select the FLEXnet License Server.

Click the Start button.


Troubleshooting

After launch, Visual-Environment behaves erratically:

It is possible that some data stored in Application Data Folder(*) is corrupted. Rename this folder, re-launch Visual-Environment and continue working.

Send the contents of the renamed folder to your local support teams for problem identification.

Remark

: This method may lose some personal customization of the environment.

(*) Application Data Folder refers to: Linux

: directory $HOME/.mwesi/9_0 Windows

: directory %APPDATA%\ESI\9_0

The license server should start and the listing must be updated:

If Visual-Environment crashes on Linux workstations, use the command productname -cleanup for cleanup.

While invoking the product on Linux, if you encounter an error which says .Menu Not found, try productname newreg.

On Linux, if the product aborts which invoking, clean up the /tmp directory.

Linux focus policy' should be 'click to focus'; if it is set to focus under mouse the application may not work.
