Using Java Beanbox (BDK)

The Java beanbox programs are located in /usr/local/Java/BDK_0798. Click here to read the README file that comes with the distribution.

Students can cd to /usr/local/Java/BDK_0798/beanbox and run the script run.sh to start up the beanbox program. You can use your own java beans in the beanbox by selecting File --> Load Jar to load your jar files containing your beans.

Your instructor should tell you how to create jar files in the correct way, so that they can be loaded as java beans. There is a GnuMakefile in the demo directory /usr/local/Java/BDK_0798/demo/ that may be usable to make jar files.

How to Change your ANSYS Working Directory To Save Space

If you are trying to run large jobs in ANSYS and having quota problems, you can change your working directory to someplace other than your Z: drive to save space.

Good choices on Windows are C:\Temp or the Course directory for your class (if your instructor has set one up for you). On Unix, you can use /tmp or your class Course directory.
