I have ANSYS 2019 R1 installed on college owned machines. I can create the models in Mechanical APDL fine, and when I run them and it says "Solution is Done" but when I try to plot the stress results, I get the error "The Requested S data is not available. The PLESOL command is ignored." Importing the and running the same file on my laptop works fine (that install was separate and does not use the college license) and I can see the stress result, so I am concerned it is an installation issue, but I am not sure. The package that was installed was "Structures - Full Package."

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Hi Pat,

On the machine with the issue, do you have any .err file under (default location) C:Program FilesANSYS Inc

Also, if you check %temp%.ansys  , then go through some files with recent modified date, do you have any entry that says 'DENIED' ?

Thanks,

Win

Hi - I looked through and did not see a .err file in the ANSYS folder. Also, none of the readable files in the temp area said DENIED anywhere inside them. Any other ideas? Thank you!

[tsiriaks]

That means there is no issue with licensing or installation. Can you compare the two machines and check if you select the exact same thing in the Mechanical APDL Launcher page ? If that's the same, then I would recommend to post this question under Physics Simulation  -> Structural Mechanics   as they may have more thoughts on this.

What should I be looking for in the Mechanical APDL launcher?

[pomalley]

There do seem to be some differences in the "High Performance Computing Setup" part, but that doesn't seem like it should matter...

[pomalley]

Ok - I tested it and changing from "Use Distributed Computing" to "Use Shared Memory Parallel" in the Launcher page fixed the issue it seems.

Hmm, that's interesting.

Thanks for the update.

hi 

I am taking the same error in my ANSYS 2019 R1. After the loading, I want to display the stress, strain results, I take warning which is 'The requested S data is not avaliable. The PLNSOL command is ignored'. Then, if I go to folder which is saved of Ansys files, I observe err folder. The err folder contains messages which are ' The EPLOT command cannot be executed.  The selected elements cannot be displayed by PowerGraphics.  To correct this situation, select different elements or turn off PowerGraphics.' Then I shut PowerGraphics but the result is still same. 

Thanks

The requested database is not available. the Etable command is ignored - Error Message

 

Hi sir,

i get the above error message while do the beam analysis with beam element 188 -  When I go to element table for loading SMIC 3,6,16,19 For Shear force &  Bending Moment diagram - i got the above error - please help to rectify the error 

 

I tried in Ansys 2019 R1. R2, R3 - In all version i got the same error message

See the answer above I marked as the solution...that fixed it for me.

Hi sir,

Thank you so much - The answer helps me to get stress results.

Hi, I have a very similar issue. I am calling Ansys MAPDL.exe with an input file from Python. This input file is a apdl command script. When calling the script from python the strain energy, I want to get with sene, is not callable and this error occurs in the file.err:

 *** WARNING ***                         CP =       4.399   TIME= 17:27:16
 Item SENE has not been stored in the database.  The ETABLE command is 
 ignored.                                                              

 *** ERROR ***                           CP =       4.399   TIME= 17:27:16
 Label STRAIN_E not recognized.

The label STRAIN_E is of course the varibale I declared to be stored with SENE.

Now, I´ve already read in some discussions that setting the product launcher to "Use Shared-Memory Parallel (SMP)" and I did that. Now, the clue is, if I run the script from Ansys Classic directly via import file, it all works fine. However, if I run the script from python, it does not!
I tried to use the /PSCONTROL (/PSCONTROL,ON) apdl command in the hope of getting the issue solved but this didn´t work as well.

Does anyone of you has an idea how to solve this issue?

*** EDIT ***
I Solved the issue. The trick was using the correct launcher log commands to manually enable "SMP". This website helped me:

Hey!
I am facing the same problem with the 2020 version. Could you please guide me. I tried the fixes here but none of them is working for me.
