2. Log onto a remote host (via Telnet, login, etc.). Type the following command or commands to tell
   the remote host to display X11 graphics on your workstation.

C Shell:

setenv DISPLAY Your_Workstation:0.0

Bourne or Korn Shell:

DISPLAY=Your_Workstation:0.0

export DISPLAY

Your_Workstation is either the host name of the IP address of your workstation.

3. Execute the ANSYS program and X11 graphics will be displayed on your workstation monitor:

ansys150 -d x11 -g

10.4.5. HP Graphics Drivers

The X11 and 3-D OpenGL graphics drivers are supported on the HP workstations. You must install the
OpenGL libraries on the system to use the OpenGL graphics driver.

CRX and HCRX graphics devices can use only the X11 graphics driver, unless you have installed the
PowerShade software on the machine.

If you are running HP CDE, set the color Use option to BLACK AND WHITE. You can do so using the
HP Style Manager - Color Option.

10.4.6. Producing GraphicDisplays on an HP PaintJet Printer

You can produce hard copy outputs from within the ANSYS program on a PaintJet printer when running
on an HP workstation. To do so, issue this command:

/pcopy,key

To produce a hard copy from within the DISPLAY program, use this command:

term,copy,key

Possible values for key are:

0 Turn hard copy option off.

Copy each successive display, placing them in a bitmap file named

file.pjet.xx.

1

now Copy the current display, placing it in a bitmap file named file.pjet.xx.

The xx is a two-digit integer between 00 and 99.

You can send the bitmap file resulting from either of the commands shown above to a PaintJet printer.
To print the file.pjet.xx file, use the HP-UX command pcltrans. The format for this command is
as follows:

pcltrans -C -p file.pjet.xx > /dev/paintjet

The value /dev/paintjet is the device name for the printer. If the printer is connected to a spooler,
use the following command:
