🔍 Description of the bug

The APDL MODE command is in the code base here

But the documentation shows that 'MODE' is going to return the type of instance.

Something here is breaking the MODE command. When used it returns a type error: "TypeError: 'str' object is not callable"

It is used with axisymmetric element with non-axosymmetric loading capabilites and is used in a few VMs like VM43.

🕵️ Steps To Reproduce

from ansys.mapdl.core import launch_mapdl
mapdl = launch_mapdl(loglevel="WARNING", print_com=True)

mapdl.units("bin")

# parameters

# material
EXX_1 = 30E6
PR_1 = 0
Dens_1 = 0.00073

# geometric
L_1 = 200
d_out = 2
d_in = 1

# loading
grav_1 = 986

mapdl.prep7()

# PLANE25 keyopt 6 set to 2 turns on extra output on both faces
mapdl.et(1, "PLANE25", "", "", "", "", "", 2)

# DEFINE MATERIAL PROPERTIES
mapdl.mp("EX", 1, EXX_1)
mapdl.mp("DENS", 1, Dens_1)
mapdl.mp("NUXY", 1, PR_1)

# bottom up modeling DEFINE KEYPOINTS
mapdl.k(1, d_in / 2)
mapdl.k(2, d_in / 2, L_1)
mapdl.kgen(2, 1, 2, 1, .5)  # GENERATE 2 ADDITIONAL KEYPOINTS IN X DIRECTION

# DEFINE LINES AND NUMBER OF DIVISIONS
mapdl.l(1, 2)  # DEFINE LINES AND NUMBER OF DIVISIONS
mapdl.lesize(1, "", "", 12)
mapdl.l(2, 4)
mapdl.lesize(2, "", "", 1)
mapdl.l(3, 4)
mapdl.lesize(3, "", "", 12)
mapdl.l(1, 3)
mapdl.lesize(4, "", "", 1)

# DEFINE AREA and capture area number for later meshing
area_number = mapdl.a(3, 1, 2, 4)

mapdl.smrtsize("OFF")
mapdl.amesh(area_number)

mapdl.finish()

mapdl.slashsolu()
mapdl.antype("STATIC")
mapdl.time(1)

# GRAVITY AS THE SUM OF TWO HARMONICALLY VARYING LOADS
mapdl.acel(grav_1, "", -grav_1)

# SYMMETRIC HARMONIC LOAD
mapdl.mode(1, 1)

Quite happy to say we already fixed that in #2431

Thank you for reporting it Mike! :)

The type of instance is now returned using mapdl.connection.
