1 month ago Hi @jorzig1990 , Thanks for opening the issue. PyMechanical embedding will not allow to create multiple app in same script.
but if you want to work in a new session then you can use app.new() which clear current session and create new session of Mechanical ( similar to File->New in Mechanical) . You can use like below. In this case you don't have to start another app or close the one that is created, instead use the one already created.
import ansys.mechanical.core as mech
print()
print("Run 1")
print()
app = mech.App(version=242)
app.update_globals(globals())
print("AnsysVersion:")
print(app)
DataModel = app.DataModel
ExtAPI = app.ExtAPI
Model = app.DataModel.Project.Model
Tree = app.DataModel.Tree
Graphics = app.ExtAPI.Graphics
Materials = DataModel.Project.Model.Materials
print()
print("Run 2")
print()
app.new()
print("AnsysVersion:")
print(app)
DataModel = app.DataModel
ExtAPI = app.ExtAPI
Model = app.DataModel.Project.Model
Tree = app.DataModel.Tree
Graphics = app.ExtAPI.Graphics
Materials = DataModel.Project.Model.Materials

š Before submitting the issue
š Description of the bug
Hello,
I want to implement following workflow in pymechanical as en embedded instance: launch app embedded exit app embedded launch new app embedded
I need this workflow in a larger script in case an error occurs, such as the loss of a licence, and I need to set up a new connection automatically at a later time.
My poblem is, that I can't close the app completely and get allways an error, if I want to launch a new app.
Under Discussion I found the Topic: How to close app? #475 with following answer:
I tried all these commands, but the error message is always the same:
I am using Visual Studio Code and for the execution of the code:
š Steps to reproduce
I have tested all 3 versions from the answer in the discussion:
Test ExtAPI.Application.Exit()
Output ExtAPI.Application.Exit():
Test app.exit()
Output app.exit():
Test ExtAPI.Application.Close():
Output ExtAPI.Application.Close()
