Description

If you launch FEM-Design many times to execute script for many inputs it's a good idea to turn off all the satellite executables it may launch: update and upgrade in settings and set environment FD_NOLOGO=1 to avoid the splash screen.

We should set the environment as suggested in FEM-Design Guide.
