ANSYS MAPDL doesn’t calculate stress

  Hello,
  
  My computer seems to not want to process stress or strain for a simple static analysis on MAPDL: "The requested S data is not available. The PLNSOL command is ignored.".
  
  On other computers it seems to work just fine.
  
  I have ansys studette 2019R2

  Hi,
  
  Have you had any solution? I am having the same problem
  
  I am doing a simple ex.
  
  This is the code:
  
  FINISH           !close all previous modules
  /CLEAR           !clear all previous models
  /TITLE, Cantilever beam
  
  /PREP7           !start PRE-PROCESSOR MODULE
  ET,1,SOLID185    !element type #1: SOLID185 (3 DoF)
  KEYOPT,1,2,3    !element #1: keyoption 2=3
  MP,EX,1,210000   !Young's modulus for material #1
  MP,NUXY,1,0.3    !Poisson modulus for material #1
  
  BLOCK,0,2000,0,100,0,200   !create a solid of 2mx100mmx200mm
  
  LESIZE,5,,,40    !40 divisions in line 5 (2m)
  LESIZE,6,,,4     !4 division in line 6 (100mm)
  LESIZE,10,,,8    !8 divisions in line 10 (200mm)
  
  MSHAPE,0,3D      !hexaedral-shape: Element shape to be used for meshing
  VMESH,1          !mesh volume
  
  FINISH           !end of PRE-PROCESSOR MODULE
  
  /SOLU            !start SOLUTION MODULE
  ANTYPE,0         !static analysis
  NSUBST,10,0,0    !perform the analysis in 10 sub-steps
  OUTRES,ALL,1     !write results for each sub-step
  TIME,1           !end time of the analysis
  
  DL,10,,UY,-1     !applied 1mm displacement in vertical direction at x=2000mm.
                   !bottom line of the area
  DA,5,ALL         !clamped area at x=0
  
  SOLVE            !solve the current load case
  FINISH           !end of the SOLUTION MODULE
  
  /POST1                !start Post-Processor module
  PLDISP,1              !plot the deformed shape
  PLESOL,S,EQV,0,1.     !contour plot of Von Mises stress
  PLESOL,S,X,0,1       !contour plot of stress in X-direction
  PLESOL,EPEL,X,0,1.    !contour plot of strain in X-direction
  PLESOL,EPEL,1,0,1.    !contour plot of principal strain
  
  So, APDL doesn't show the stress and strain
  
  Any of you have any idea how to solve this problem?
  
  Thanks

  Hello,
  
  Yes i have found a solution.
  
  -Type in search bar on your pc and open : Mechanical APDL Product Launcher
  -Select the tab : High Performance Computer Setup
  -Change from "Distributed Computing (DMP)" to "Shared-Memory Parrarel (SMP)"
  
  i haven't tweaked with the other settings you can try. Try without touching the rest first.
  
  Good luck
