Creating an OPNET environment

As a first time OPNET user, you need to set up your environment before OPNET can be properly run. Follow the instructions listed below.

1. Modify your .cshrc file

Add these two statements into your .cshrc file.
 

set path = ($path /usr/mil3/3.5.A/sys/sgi_mips_irix/bin)
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/mil3/3.5.A/sys/sgi_mips_irix/lib
 
Note: If your OPNET is installed in a different directory, ask your system administrator for the OPNET bin and lib directory information.

2. Create your own environment

At your home directory, type in the following command to start the process. (The italic text shows the screen output, bold text among them indicate what you should type)

=> For the initial configuration of this user account, you may choose to use
   all model directories. However, you may want to limit the available models
   in order to simplify model choices and improve user interface performance.

   If you do not choose to include all model directories, you will be asked
   to select which model directories you want from the OPNET standard models
   and the OPNET vendor specific models.

   Whether you choose all directories or not, there are other model directories
   that will not automatically be included. If you want to use them, modify the
   'mod_dirs' value in your Environment Database file to include them. They are:
      Compatibility Models:  Standard models from the OPNET 2.5 and 3.0
                             releases, converted to the current format.
      Contributed Models:    Unsupported third party models.
      Third Party Models:    Models received from third party vendors.
