Hey guys!<\/p>\n

I am trying to include USERMAT files in my Ansys code via the dynamic library linking option. I did everything as described in the manual (ANS_USER_PATH is set, USERMAT.F and ANSUSERSHARED.bat are in the folder and did compile, the output window shows that ANSYS is linked by licensee) but everytime I run my APDL code (which works without the USERMAT) the run terminates abnormally and the window closes without any message. When I restart APDL it says:<\/p>\n

*** ERROR ***
 Another ANSYS job with the same job name (dll_UPF_Check_20072023) is already running in this
 directory or the dll_UPF_Check_20072023.lock file has not been deleted from an abnormally
 terminated ANSYS run.  To disable this check, set the ANSYS_LOCK environment
 variable to OFF.<\/p>\n

 Do you wish to override this lock and continue (y or n)?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I checked the .lock file but it’s empty and I have no idea what could be the problem. I know that the USERMAT works since I linked it via the new .exe linking option but I want to switch to the .dll linking option.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Does anybody have an idea on what could be the problem? I run Mechanical APDL 2022R1 on Windows 10.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thanks a lot in advance!<\/p>\n
