The interface program works in conjunction with a FINEL-specific command environment. This environment is activated via the command 'PROPERTY FE-PROG FINEL' The environment variable FG_PRE_INT can be used to make FINEL the default environment for all models.
It is important to note that if the analysis environment is changed after material properties, physical properties or loads have been defined in the FEMGEN model, then they will be lost.
In addition the resource file can be used to customise the program to FINEL. The relevant lines in the FEMGV Resource file 'femsys.ini' are shown below:

# =================================
#
# Use these settings in conjunction with environment variable
# FG_PRE_INT in the startup file. Note that more
# than one analysis package may be defined here if desired.
