Interactive input after launching mapdl

[muruep]

Hello everyone,

I would like to know how to ask for interactive inputs after launching mapdl in pyansys script, for example:

parameter = input("Enter parameter:")

Thanks

@muruep The line you gave should work - does it not?

Hi all,

It does work for me:

Code input and outputs:

In [1]: from ansys.mapdl.core import launch_mapdl
   ...:
   ...: mapdl = launch_mapdl()
   ...: print(mapdl)
   ...: mapdl.run("/PREP7")
   ...: Title = input("Enter title of project \n")
   ...:
   ...: mapdl.run(f"/TITLE,{Title}")
Product:             Ansys Mechanical Enterprise
MAPDL Version:       21.2
ansys.mapdl Version: 0.62.dev0

Enter title of project
Cool title
Out[1]:
TITLE=
 Cool title

Can you check the above code? Also, can you provide us with more details?

Hi germa89,

This does work! Thanks!

I am trying to do the same thing for the working directory, but it does not work. I attach the code:

from ansys.mapdl.core import launch_mapdl

Workdir = input('Enter title of simulation project \n')
mapdl = launch_mapdl(run_location='C:\{Workdir}')

Hi @muruep the single \ is an escape character. So try the form:

mapdl=launch_mapdl(run_location = ('C:\\' + Workdir))

Mike

p.s. this:
print('C:\" + Workdir)

Should return an "EOL while scanning string literal" Python error message

Thanks! It works perfectly this way.
