DynRisk includes numerous options, which are stored in a file called “DynRisk prefs” in the Preferences folder in your System Folder. This file is created automatically the first time you start DynRisk. The settings stored in this file include default names and codes for nodes and folders, default distribution parameters, simulation parameters, export options etc. Most of these options are set in dialog boxes that can be opened through the Preference submenu in the File menu.
Note: To return all of DynRisk's preferences to their default settings, open the Preferences folder in your System Folder, and drag the DynRisk prefs file to the trash. A new default Preference file will then be created the next time you start DynRisk.
