[SHEAR7_VERSION=Version Number]

[CL_PATH=CL File Path],[CL_NAME=CL File Name]

SHEAR7 PATH defaults to C:\Program Files\Shear7\4.12a\bin\shear7_4.12a.exe. Version Number is specified in the form of X.Y where X and Y are integer values, and defaults to 4.12. Versions between 4.6 and 4.12 are supported.

The CL file contains the lift coefficient tables. You can specify the CL File Path (defaults to current directory) and the CL File Name (defaults to “common.s7CL” for Version 4.11 onwards, and “common.CL” for earlier versions).
