Options

Options define system's runtime parameters.

Server

Specify connection parameters for your LoadPlanner Server. To access free evaluation service enter http://loadplanner.com/server. If you acquired Application License and received your Product Registration Key, open Processor Options to activate your License.

Server settings are unavailable for LoadPlanner in Application mode. Check Processor Options for more details.

Processor

Enter Product Registration Key that you received with your license. LoadPlanner will connect to the Licensing Service to validate your license and automatically download and install the Load Processor.

You can unregister your current LoadPlanner license. LoadPlanner will connect to the Licensing Service to clear your record, then you can re-use your license at the same or another computer.

HTTP Proxy

If you are behind a firewall, specify HTTP Proxy network parameters here. If your HTTP Proxy requires authentication, specify your system User Name and Password. Check with your System Administrator for more information.

Note that all Internet connections (both Evaluation and Licensing Services) are subject to the HTTP Proxy settings. If you are running Intranet LoadPlanner Server (over the LAN), you may need to disable the Proxy.

Database

To use external database specify database type, connection parameters, your database user name and password. For information about the structure of external database and examples of configuration see /data/external directory in your LoadPlanner Desktop installation. Check with your DBA for more information.

Interaction

When Help Tips are enabled every time you position a mouse cursor over a dialog element, LoadPlanner will display a pop-up help window.

When 3D Graphics Adapter is enabled load viewer will use OpenGL to render 3D load images. If you are experiencing problems viewing load diagrams update your OpenGL driver or disable this option.

When Auto Rotation is enabled the load diagram will be rotating around its vertical axis. User interaction with diagram will stop the rotation.

When Side Labels are enabled, each item's label in the load diagram will also have item's side appended to it, for example "SKU 12345 - FRONT".

Optimization

Load optimization algorithm iteratively generates load configurations trying to improve load quality.

Optimization limits define restriction criteria for total time, total number, and number of non-improving iterations, that can be spent on a final load configuration.
