faster way to use apdl, pymapdl

[francesco123212]

Hi everyone, hope yall are ok! I have a question related to the speed of the pymapdl package: which is the fastest way to perform a simulation?

• use only old school apdl
• try to minimize the number of interactions between python/julia and mapdl using lots of run_multiline, e.g., to create a line

  pymapdl.run_multiline("""
  /prep7
  k,1,coordinates
  k,2,coordintaes
  l,1,2
  """)

• only use py mapdl WO run_multiline, e.g., to create a line:

  pymapdl.prep7()
  pymapdl.k() #create first keypoint
  pymapdl.k() # create second kp
  pymapdl.l() # create line connecting the two kp
