    The following line script can be used and adapted:

    Solu=ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model.Analyses[0].Solution 
settings=ExtAPI.DataModel.Project.Model.Analyses[0].AnalysisSettings  
sfd=settings.SolverFilesDirectory 
Solu.ReadGivenAnsysResultFile(sfd+"file.rst", Ansys.ACT.Automation.Mechanical.Enums.UnitSystemIDType.UnitsMKS)

    Depending on the version used, the last line can also be:

    Solu.ReadGivenAnsysResultFile(fName, UnitSystemIDType.UnitsUMKS)

    Sometimes this can lag a bit - the below seems a bit faster:

    solution.ReadGivenAnsysResultFileByReference()

    Just for reference, the option to access Unit system has changed. Please use the below.

    analysis.Solution.ReadGivenAnsysResultFile(filepath,Ansys.Mechanical.DataModel.Enums.UnitSystemIDType.UnitsNMM)
