“Unable to get working directory” error when using Solve() in script

  I would like to automate my Mechanical simulation (including the solution process) via a Python script. However, if I type
  Model.Analyses[0].Solution.Solve(True)
  
  in my script (this command can be found in the official scripting help under https://ansyshelp.ansys.com/account/secured?returnurl=/Views/Secured/corp/v221/en/act_script/act_script_examples_solve_track_core.html), I get an error reading "Unable to get working directory". Typing the same command in the shell works fine. Does anyone know a fix? This problem is very annoying since it forces me to always run the analysis manually.

  2. can you please add a screenshot of your mechanical window and where you are typing this in?
