dbdecrypt

EncryptionDecryption.dbdecrypt(keya='', keyb='', datatype='', num1='', num2='', inc='', **kwargs)

Controls decryption of material data in the database file.

Mechanical APDL Command: /DBDECRYPT

Parameters:

keyastr

Decryption key A (32-character maximum). This key is used to decrypt the data in a one-level encryption or to control access to the data in a two-level encryption. Leave this field blank if you do not have key A.

keybstr

Decryption key B (32-character maximum). This key is used to decrypt the data in a two-level encryption. Leave this field blank if the database file is encrypted with one-level encryption.

datatypestr

Type of data to decrypt. Must be set to MAT for material data.

num1str

Decrypt materials from material number NUM1 to NUM2 (defaults to NUM1 ) in steps of INC (defaults to 1). If NUM1 = ALL (default), NUM2 and INC are ignored.

num2str

Decrypt materials from material number NUM1 to NUM2 (defaults to NUM1 ) in steps of INC (defaults to 1). If NUM1 = ALL (default), NUM2 and INC are ignored.

incstr

Decrypt materials from material number NUM1 to NUM2 (defaults to NUM1 ) in steps of INC (defaults to 1). If NUM1 = ALL (default), NUM2 and INC are ignored.

Notes

This command decrypts data in the database file. It must be issued before resuming the database file ( resume command). Only KeyA is required for a one-level encryption. For a two-level encryption, inputting KeyB gives you partial access to the data. Inputting both KeyA and KeyB gives you full access.

This command is valid in any processor.
