  This is an input file that works well. However, when I add "solve", then the whole screen vanishes.

  Hi,
  Can you check the .out file for solution progress? It may be happening because you are solving in batch mode. Please see if the following thread helps: Get Load Step Progress while doing APDL Batch run (ansys.com)
