ExPLANT-I Configuration File

In order to produce an attribute file from ExPLANT-I you must create an ExPLANT-I configuration file, and inform the ExPLANT-I driver of its location in either of two ways:

  • Setting the environment variable EXPLANT_CONFIGURATION to the path of that file before starting Design, for example

    set EXPLANT_CONFIGURATION = %pdmsexe%\config.sample

    This is particularly useful if you always use the same configuration file. In that case you could add this set command to your Marine batch files.

  • You can use the export option 'configuration' ‘<filename>’ command in Design to set the path of the configuration file. For example

    export option 'configuration' ' C:\configs\config.txt'

    This is particularly useful if you use different configuration files for different exports.

The ExPLANT-I log-file contains the path of the configuration file used for the run.
