      You can use an ANSYS CFX configuration file (cfx5rc file). This is described in the ANSYS CFX 18 CFX Introduction Manual (help/cfx_intr/i1301327.html). Please note that the path definition for user specific configuration files in chapter 3.1.2. User’s Configuration Files of the ANSYS CFX Introduction Manual should be 18.0 (with a period) and not 180. This typo has been corrected for version 18.2.
