Include Filename Syntax

Include Filename Syntax

You need to choose whether include files use Absolute or Relative pathname syntax. The differences are: Syntax method Typical result on Windows Typical result on Linux Absolute , prefix uses explicit pathname C:\users\my_model\INCL\a.key /home/users/my_model/INCL/a.key Relative , prefix is relative to master file .\INCL\a.key ./INCL/a.key

How master file references include files:

Ansys LS-DYNA will accept include files referenced with an absolute path or a path relative the master file, which may be preferred as Dyna is currently limited to a string length of 80 characters. However, for include files within include files it is recommended to always use the absolute path.
