Dear all,<\/p>\n

I am running APDL in Python with mapdl for a stub column test. Every time I run my code in Python, all files created at the solution are saved into a temporary file created each time in AppData\/Local with a different name. I need to call some of these saved files (file.rst, database.db) in my code, so I try to change the working directory for Python and for APDL by the \/CWD command. But when I change my working directory, it no longer solves and displays this error:<\/p>\n

Traceback (most recent call last):<\/p>\n

 File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module><\/p>\n

 File "C:UsersMANUELAppDataLocalProgramsPythonPython37libsite-packagesansysmapdlcore\\_commandssolutionanalysis_options.py", line 3277, in solve<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

How can I change the working directory and solve the model without this error?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-163534","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-ansys-mapdl-1","topic-tag-changing-directory-1","topic-tag-directory","topic-tag-error","topic-tag-mapdl"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_author_ip":[""],"_bbp_old_reply_author_name_id":["Anonymous"],"_bbp_old_is_reply_anonymous_id":["false"],"_btv_view_count":["3240"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_bbp_subscription":["237675"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["163534"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_engagement":["18229","237675"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["3"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["196285"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["196285"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2021-11-10 15:00:08"]},"test":"manuel-uruenaalumnos-upm-es"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/163534","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/163534\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=163534"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
