The Feko environment is set up internally by means of Lua
applications and internal functions
Each application is self-aware. It will detect and set up the environment based on
its location. The default environment for the current installation will be loaded from a set
of mandatory files. Any user-specific environment variables can then be added/changed in
optional files loaded after the mandatory files. It allows for the user-specific environment
variables to overwrite the global environment variables, rather than editing the file
containing the global default environment variables
The Lua scripts are loaded in the following order:
FEKO_HOME/FEKOenvironmentFromSetup.lua
This mandatory file is created at installation time. It contains the global
default settings for the current installation. It is not advised to edit this
file, unless a different setting is required than specified during
installation.
FEKO_HOME/FEKOenvironment.lua
This mandatory file is provided and managed by Feko
to ensure correct functionality. This file may be updated by the update utility,
so any changes to it may be lost.
FEKO_USER_HOME/FEKOenvironment.lua
This is an optional file. It must be created by the user if and when
required.
Windows:
%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%\FEKOenvironment.lua
It must be created by the user if and when required. If it is not found, it will
be silently ignored and operation continues.
%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%\FEKOenvironment.lua
It must be created by the user if and when required. If it is not found, it will
be silently ignored and operation continues.
%USERPROFILE%\FEKOenvironment.lua
It must be created by the user if and when required. If it is not found, it will
be silently ignored and operation continues.
Linux:
$HOME/FEKOenvironment.lua
It must be created by the user if and when required. If it is not found, it will
be silently ignored and operation continues.
FEKO_USER_ENV_INIFILE
It must be created by the user if and when required. If it is not found, it will
be silently ignored and operation continues.
