How to set FINE as default in CAE 6.6?

Hey guys,

Maybe this has been solved in 6.7 (that would be great) but what I need to do is set the geometryRefinement key to "FINE" or "EXTRA_FINE", but I can't do it in the "onCaeStartup" part of the abaqus_v6.env file because it's a part-specific attribute/object and therefore changes depending on the model(s) I open. I imagine maybe I could add in a loop that enumerates through all the parts in all my mdb as soon as they're opened... I don't even know the right function for that off the top of my head... Maybe onMdbOpen?
Has anybody tried to do this? Figured I'd ask before I spend half the day digging through the docs...

Cheers,
Former (ABAQUS) Dealer

Why not open up a macro, do it on one part and then edit the macro so that it'll do it generally for all parts when you run macro?

mostly because it's still a relatively manual solution and not significantly better than doing it through the pull-down menus. i'm a big fan of "set it and forget it" and to me, all my parts being rendered well should be a default setting that i don't need to rely on a macro for. thanks for the response. i'm primarily interested in how to solve the problem without having to think about it ever again.
