When you activate the ANSYS program, you can change the default jobname from file or FILE to a name that is more meaningful. To do so, activate the program as follows:
ansys110 -j newjobname
The value -j (or -J) is an option indicating that a new jobname, newjobname, follows. Once this command executes, all ANSYS files produced during this run will have a filename of newjobname.ext.
If an ANSYS job is running in the background, do not execute the ANSYS program interactively in the same directory unless you use a different jobname.
ANSYS can process blanks in file and directory names. Be sure the file name is enclosed in a pair of single quotes if a blank appears in the file name. Note that many UNIX commands do not support object names with blank spaces.
