How to modify the default of ansys mapdl

lth

When I enter the following code

''

From ansys.mapdl import core as pymapdl

New_ Path="D: ANSYS2022R1 ANSYS Inc v221 analysis bin winx64 ANSYS221. exe"

Pymapdl.change_ Default_ ANSYS_ Path (new_path)

''

The following error occurred, Python=3.8.10, ANSYS mapdl core=0.66.0

Hi @lth, the code in your post is not formatted correctly so it is hard to read, but here are a couple of points you could check:

• your path definition seems off. Make sure it's a path, maybe by using os.path to define it.
• Python is case sensitive. There are several inconsistencies in the code you show with capitalized or small-case letters.
• change_default_ansys_path is a deprecated method, as explained in the help. Use change_default_mapdl_path instead
