I want the code to execute after the model is solved, so I set the Target Callback to &quot;After Post&quot;. I then right-clicked to &quot;Connect&quot; the code. When I subsequently solve the model, the code executes flawlessly. However, if I close Mechanical and re-open it, the code is not connected, so I must &quot;Connect&quot; it again for the solver to proceed. The help file indicates that &quot;Connect&quot; only needs to be re-done if the Python code is changed (which it wasn&#039;t, in fact, nothing changed!).
