General setup

Preferences dialog can be displayed using Edit/preferences menu option or by clicking "Design variables icon"icon in tool bar. The essential settings to ensure proper operation of Numpress Explore program are three file paths. First is the path to Numpress Engine, computational part. Next two paths are respectivelly to flow and explicit approach metal forming codes. Last path points to Help folder. The rule is to look for the files in the directory where the executable file is located first. Then Numpress Explore try to find it in current directory. If failed fields remains epmty and user must deliver proper file location manually. Otherwise program will not work correctly. Last option is number of treads. To benefit on multicore architecture proper number of threads should be entered. By default is "4". If the Numpress-Explore is run on a computer with a different number of cores. The user should adjust this value to the number of cores on the machine. It is especially important in very good scalable simulations methods : Monte Carlo, IS, AIS, Robust Optimization or Statistical Analysis.
