Hi @FemLearner is there any way you can update to a later version of MAPDL? I just ran this model though I had to change keyopt 2=1 for the Fluid30 element type as the options have changed (and 3 is no longer an option):
Then at the solve:

I updated my Ansys version from 19.2 to 2022r1 , and now a new problem appeared ,all the demo including static and harmic analysis,the error is:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "D:/CODE_1/puthon_code/main.py", line 8, in <module>
mapdl = launch_mapdl()

KeyboardInterrupt
I try to figure out whether the ansys221 can be found with such code:
from ansys.mapdl.core import launch_mapdl
mapdl = launch_mapdl()
print(mapdl)
But error happened as "Unable to locate program input point MPI_lalltoall........."
I choose another version Ansys2021 r1 , and still can not solve , the err changed:
CRITICAL - - logging - handle_exception - Uncaught exception

Hi @FemLearner It looks like there is a MPI version already installed on the system. So let's try running PyMAPDL in shared memory parallel (not distributed) and take MPI out of the equation for now. Please try to run the following:
from ansys.mapdl.core import launch_mapdl
mapdl = launch_mapdl(additional_switches = '-smp')
print(mapdl)
And let us know what happens. Mike
I choosed the version 2021 instead of version 2022 , to avoid the error"Unable to locate program input point MPI_lalltoall........." , and when i used the version 2021 , it occured the error "MAPDL server connection terminated" , I think it is because of the fail in identification of licenses , and I add the code
mapdl = launch_mapdl(exec_file=r"D:\setup_position_1\ansys2021r1\ANSYSInc\v211\ansys\bin\winx64\ANSYS211.exe",additional_switches = '-smp')
and the problem is down , and I want to know whether the sentence "additional_switches = '-smp''' will impact the calculation.
Summary: The Ansys version2022r1 will cause the "Unable to locate program input point MPI_lalltoall........." problem , and it can be solved by changed the version to 2021r1 , and the problem "MAPDL server connection terminated" can be solved in 2021r1 by the sentence"additional_switches = '-smp'"
Hi @FemLearner "SMP" is 'shared memory parallel', which was the default at version 19.2. Your question depends on what you mean by 'impact'. SMP and DMP [distributed parallel] are two types of parallelism. They should return the same results, but their computational performance will most likely be different. It depends on various factors like the model size (in terms of total degrees-of-freedom being solved), hardware set up, etc.
The message about MPI_Ialltoall relates to MPI being installed and some environment variables relating to it existing. DMP relies on MPI for its communication. As with other programs that use MPI, MAPDL has requirements on the type, version, and configuration of MPI that it supports. A simple workaround is to use SMP and bypass MPI use. If you anticipate your models getting larger and DMP needed then you would need address the issue. If you are an Ansys Inc customer I'd recommend opening a standard service request at that point. If not, maybe posting to the learning forum here (open to all https://forum.ansys.com/ ). Or maybe discussing with your companies IT department...etc.

If it's alright with you @FemLearner, i'd like to make this an example in https://mapdl.docs.pyansys.com/examples/index.html.
@mikerife Thanks! I run the programs on my personal computer , so I think I can choose SMP to make the program stable. @akaszynski It is ok. And I hope it will be helpful to someone solving an Acoustic harmonic problem.
Before submitting the issue
Description of the bug
pymapdl cannot complete
mapdl.solve()
Before the mapdl.solve() step,all the other steps are run successfully,but the examples like 2D Plane Stress Concentration Analysis can run successfully and out put the result. An acoustic radiation belongs to an harmonic response analysis , I converted APDL language sentence by sentence to pymapdl language , it can run successfully in the ansys19.2 GUI interface but failed in the pymapdl. I'm thinking about whether it's my code writing error that makes it impossible to calculate .This is my short demo,is there anyone who can help me see if it is a code error,thanks!!!Steps To Reproduce
start pymapdl
apdl start set
define a ET30 and ET130 element type
Define a material (nominal steel in SI)
Define real const
make a hollow sphere
mesh 30
add boundary condition
solu
error!!!
