mapdl.lssolve() doesn't work

I noticed that when I use the command mapdl.lssolve(), I get no results. I wanted to check first whether it works, soI made a simple coding. No, It only doesn’t work in pyansys, although I already checked the macro works in MAPDL.

from ansys.mapdl.core import launch_mapdl
mapdl = launch_mapdl(loglevel="WARNING")
mapdl.run("/units,user,0.001,0.001,1,1,0,1,1,1")
mapdl.prep7()
mapdl.et(1, 182)
mapdl.mp("ex", 1, 210e3)
mapdl.mp("nuxy", 1, 0.33)
mapdl.mp("dens", 1, 7.81e-06)
mapdl.k(1, 0, 0)
mapdl.k(2, 5, 0)
mapdl.k(3, 5, 1)
mapdl.k(4, 0, 1)
mapdl.l(1, 2)
mapdl.l(2, 3)
mapdl.l(3, 4)
mapdl.l(4, 1)
mapdl.al(1, 2, 3, 4)
mapdl.lsel("s", "", "", 1, 4)
mapdl.lesize("all", 0.1)
mapdl.amesh(1)
mapdl.allsel()
mapdl.finish()
mapdl.run("/solu")
mapdl.antype("static'")
mapdl.kbc(0)
mapdl.lsel("s", "", "", 4)
mapdl.nsll("s", 1)
mapdl.d("all", "all", 0)
mapdl.ksel("s", "", "", 3)
mapdl.nslk("s")
mapdl.f("all", "fy", 5)
mapdl.allsel()
mapdl.lswrite(1)
mapdl.fdele("all", "all")
mapdl.ksel("s", "", "", 3)
mapdl.nslk("s")
mapdl.f("all", "fy", -5)
mapdl.allsel()
mapdl.lswrite(2)
mapdl.lssolve(1, 2)
mapdl.exit()

It works! It works!!! Oh!!! Thanks a lot! Thank you!! I can work again on my project!

Until I fix this with the next patch release, here’s a quick fix you can run on your end:

replace:

out = mapdl.lssolve(1, 2)

with:

with mapdl.non_interactive:
    mapdl.lssolve(1, 2)
out = mapdl.last_response
