encrypt

EncryptionDecryption.encrypt(key='', fname='', ext='', **kwargs)

Controls encryption of command input.

Mechanical APDL Command: /ENCRYPT

Parameters:

keystr

Encryption key used to encrypt the data (32-character maximum). A character parameter may be used. If the key is unspecified, encryption is turned off.

fnamestr

Name of file (including directory path) where the encrypted commands are written (248-character maximum for both file name and directory). An unspecified directory path defaults to the working directory; in this case, you can use all 248 characters for the file name.

extstr

File name extension (eight-character maximum).

Notes

This command opens the encrypted file specified by Fname and Ext for writing encrypted input commands.

Issuing this command results in a new file that overwrites any data in an existing file by the same name. When the encrypted file is written, the first line in the file is /DECRYPT,PASSWORD,OPENSSL and the last line is /DECRYPT.
