Plastic Extrusion Analysis Crashes due to OMP_NUM

Plastic Extrusion Analysis Crashes due to OMP_NUM_THREADS setting

  I can run a plastic extrusion analysis on my personal machine. On the school machine it crashes. The error message In the transcript is something generic about not being able to find a license. The transcript of the failure has this:
  
  Intern in CREPRO
  Polyflow not licensed.
  
  I'm quite certain the school has a polyflow license. The best clue I have is earlier in the transcript of the failure. The first two lines are identical to the successful analysis, but then it adds one more line:
  
  Argument [-th 2] to specify the number of threads to use.
  
      Number of threads to use is 2.
  
      OMP_NUM_THREADS=8. set by user.
  
  The last line is not present in the transcript of the working model. I believe that OMP_NUM_THREADS is an environment variable.  Any idea how to override it? I'm not an admin, so can't change it . Our IT guys can't figure it out and are considering writing a script to change the environment variable when someone starts Discovery, but this is kind of a hack, though I appreciate their effort. Can anyone help? Why is Discovery brining this variable in? How can I stop it?
