Hi
I'm trying to solve an explicit dynamics analysis on Linux with pyMechanical but it seems not start solve.

Here's my python script:

import ansys.mechanical.core as pymechanical

wb_path = "/es01/home/zssoftware/Ansys/Ansys2023r1_gr/v231/aisol/.workbench"
print("wb_path", wb_path)
mechanical = pymechanical.launch_mechanical(exec_file=wb_path, verbose_mechanical=True, batch=True, loglevel="DEBUG", log_file=True, log_mechanical="pymechanical")
print("mechanical launch success: ", mechanical)

project_directory = mechanical.project_directory
print(f"project directory = {project_directory}")

try:
    # import geometry file
    GEO_IMPORT_SCRIPT = """
geo_import_format = Ansys.Mechanical.DataModel.Enums.GeometryImportPreference.Format.Automatic
geo_import_preferences = Ansys.ACT.Mechanical.Utilities.GeometryImportPreferences()
geo_import = Model.GeometryImportGroup.AddGeometryImport()
geo_import.Import("{geo_path:s}", geo_import_format, geo_import_preferences)
"""
    mechanical.run_python_script(
      GEO_IMPORT_SCRIPT.format(geo_path="/es01/home/yuansuan/test_case/wanghao/ansys-231-pre-process/breakage/breakage.stp")
    )

    # mesh
    mechanical.run_python_script("""
mesh_14 = Model.Mesh
mesh_14.ElementSize = Quantity(1, "m")
mesh_14.PhysicsPreference = MeshPhysicsPreferenceType.Explicit
mesh_14.GenerateMesh()
"""
    )

    mechanical.run_python_script("""
# set ExplicitDynamicsAnalysis
explicit_dynamics_analysis = Model.AddExplicitDynamicsAnalysis()

def analysis_settings(p, value):
    pro = DataModel.AnalysisList[0].AnalysisSettings.PropertyByName(p)
    print("find %s propertry is ok, old value is %f " % (p, pro.InternalValue))
    pro.InternalValue=value
    print("update %s propertry is ok, new value is %f " % (p, pro.InternalValue))

analysis_settings("StepEndTime", 0.0001)

fixed_support = explicit_dynamics_analysis.AddFixedSupport()
selection = ExtAPI.SelectionManager.CreateSelectionInfo(SelectionTypeEnum.GeometryEntities)
selection.Ids = [88, 94, 91]
fixed_support.Location = selection

displacement = explicit_dynamics_analysis.AddDisplacement()
selection = ExtAPI.SelectionManager.CreateSelectionInfo(SelectionTypeEnum.GeometryEntities)
selection.Ids = [90, 93, 86]
displacement.Location = selection

displacement.XComponent.Output.DefinitionType=VariableDefinitionType.Discrete
displacement.XComponent.Inputs[0].DiscreteValues = [Quantity(0, 'sec'), Quantity(1, 'sec')]
displacement.XComponent.Output.DiscreteValues = [Quantity(0, 'mm'), Quantity(-10, 'mm')]

explicit_dynamics_analysis.Solution.AddEquivalentStress()
explicit_dynamics_analysis.Solution.AddTotalDeformation()
""")


    mechanical.run_python_script("""
Model.Solve(True)
""")

except Exception as e:
    print("An error occurred while running the Python script:", e)
finally:
    print("exit mechanical instance")
    mechanical.exit()

The solution seems not starts and I've got two warnings. Here's the stdout when running the script:
