      In Workbench (18.x or 19.x), go to Tools > License Preferences > Solver tab, move ANSYS LS-DYNA down to the bottom or below all products enable MAPDL solver (e.g. ANSYS Mechanical Enterprise), then Apply. Or just click “Reset to Default” if product orders are not customized on license server. Reopen Mechanical, make sure ANSYS LS-DYNA appears at end of Mechanical window title, e.g. Multiple Systems – Mechanical (ANSYS Mechanical Enterprise – ANSYS LS-DYNA).
