Description of the error

I have installed pymechanical on the HPC python env I created using

python -m pip install ansys-mechanical-env

and when I try to run it

mechanical-env python

I get this error

@CollinsJnr-001 . Can you try running find-mechanical from the after activating the same virtual env. if you are not seeing the mechanical version and path that means ansys-tools-path is unable to find Mechanical in default installation paths. you can use below cli commands from ansys-tools-path to save mechanical path.

save-ansys-path --name mechanical <path to .workbench> then you can run find-mechanical and check the path is saved correctly.

alternatively find-mechanical directly ask you to the Ansys Mechanical (.workbench) path eg:

save-ansys-path --name mechanical "/user/ansys_inc/v232/aisol/.workbench"
find-mechanical
232 /user/ansys_inc/v232/aisol/.workbench

Let me know if this works.

@dipinknair

Thank you

save-ansys-path --name mechanical "/user/ansys_inc/v232/aisol/.workbench" find-mechanical 232 /user/ansys_inc/v232/aisol/.workbench

I found the file here.

@dipinknair

Thank you

save-ansys-path --name mechanical "/user/ansys_inc/v232/aisol/.workbench" find-mechanical 232 /user/ansys_inc/v232/aisol/.workbench

I found the file here.

@CollinsJnr-001 Did this work for you. Were you able to use mechanical-env python successfully ?

Yes it worked just fine I can run mechanical-env python successfully
