How to launch PyMAPDL in older ansys versions as compared to the most latest installed version?

Rohith Patchigolla

Include the exec_file argument in the launch_mapdl function to point to 24R2 (for example) instead of default 25R1 (if its the latest installed).

mapdl = launch_mapdl(exec_file='C:\\Program Files\\ANSYS Inc\\v242\\ansys\\bin\\winx64\\ansys242.exe')

You can also do:

from ansys.mapdl.core import launch_mapdl

mapdl = launch_mapdl(version=22.2)
