Calling a Custom Ansys.exe from Workbench and CFX

I've compiled a custom Ansys.exe with user defined fortran routines. I can run the custom Ansys.exe in batch mode. You simply go to the Product Launch and the Cust/Pref tab and point to the C:\Program Files\Ansys Inc\v110\ANSYS\custom\user\intel directory where the custom Ansys.exe resides.

Whenever you are in Workbench Simulation and run an analysis, a ds.dat is made which is an Ansys input file and a file.bat which runs Ansys in batch mode is also made. However, I cannot find how to get Workbench and CFX (for Fluid-Structure-Interaction) to call the custom Ansys.exe.

I have replaced the contents of the C:\Program Files\Ansys Inc\v110\ANSYS\bin\intel directory with the contents of the C:\Program Files\Ansys Inc\v110\ANSYS\custom\user\intel directory where the custom Ansys.exe resides. However, that seems a little extreme.

Does anyone know if there is a flag, ini file setting, etc to accomplish this?
