Selecting License?

See original GitHub issue

We have different ANSYS licenses available in our group. For most simulations we use ANSYS Academic Teaching, which is selected via ANSYS Mechanical Product Launcher. Today I blocked the Academic Research License because(?) a crashed script didn’t finish the ANSYS task a few days ago (at least thats my best guess). The issue here, I didn’t even want to use the Academic Research License for my PyMAPDL-Script in the first place, and I have no idea why it was used. How does PyMAPDL decide which license is used when starting MAPDL (if not set via additional_switches)? Does it also take the setting from the ANSYS Mechanical Product Launcher? Or might it depend on what the script is doing? I played a little bit with pooling last week - maybe this needed the Academic Reasearch License? How to “force” to use of Academic Teaching License inside the script? Is there a list of possible additional_switches values?

There really should be docs regarding this. When I find time to focus on a solid docs PR for MAPDL, I’ll patch this up. Right now, working on getting enough inertia on pyvista=0.31.0. You were right about it taking a while 😃.

One note here, it seems that we’re unable to set the academic license directly with 2021R1 and newer. For details, see: https://github.com/pyansys/pymapdl/issues/658#issuecomment-943975961
