This path is used only if the simplified file (and optionally the support log information) is saved, otherwise a temporary folder beneath %AVEVA_DESIGN_WORKS%\ModelSimplification is created and used. Otherwise, this path is used for the simplified .stp file, and any support long information, and in addition various temporary files used during the simplification process. The path cannot contain environment variable references or wild cards. (The PathName() function of a PML File object may be useful to expand these.). If the string is empty, then a default directory is used. The default value is |%AVEVA_DESIGN_USER%\Model_Simplification_Results| |
