How to solve explicit dynamics analysis in Ansys 2023R1 on Linux?

Options

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:
