While APDL was the standard method of setting up models for many years, it required engineers to be trained on the myriad commands available and was enhanced with a more intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) in the early 2000s. Ansys was the first commercial simulation tool provider to offer users a versatile programming language to create parametric models for systemic analyses.ĪPDL has been around since the 1980s, initially developed by John Swanson to replace punch card instructions in mainframe computers with a simpler, easy-to-use language for personal computers. APDL and MAPDL can be used for many tasks, ranging from creating geometries for analysis to setting up sophisticated solver settings for highly complex analyses. Mechanical APDL (MAPDL), a finite element analysis program, is driven by APDL. The trick was using the correct launcher log commands to manually enable "SMP".Ansys Parametric Design Language (APDL) is a powerful structured scripting language used to interact with the Ansys Mechanical solver. When calling the script from python the strain energy, I want to get with sene, is not callable and this error occurs in the file.err: This input file is a apdl command script. I am calling Ansys MAPDL.exe with an input file from Python.

Hello everybody, I have a very similar issue. I tried to use the /PSCONTROL (/PSCONTROL,ON) apdl command in the hope of getting the issue solved but this didn´t work as well.ĭoes anyone of you has an idea how to solve this issue? However, if I run the script from python, it does not! Now, the clue is, if I run the script from Ansys Classic directly via import file, it all works fine. Now, I´ve already read in some discussions that setting the product launcher to "Use Shared-Memory Parallel (SMP)" and I did that. The label STRAIN_E is of course the varibale I declared to be stored with SENE.

Item SENE has not been stored in the database.
