I&#8217;m launching a Mechanical session in which I import the geometry then a set the mesh and the boundary conditions. Then I save the input file (file .dat). After saving and closing the Mechanical session, with pyACP I import the input.dat file and I define the composite material. After defining the composite material, is there a way to upload the model and run the simulation in Ansys Mechanical or the only way is to solve the ACP model in a MAPDL session? In pyAnsys guide I found how to import and solve the ACP model in MAPDL but I would prefer to run the analysis in Mechanical, if it is possible.
