pymapdl verification fails

[ansSanthoshM]

Hi,
Greetings, I am just starting to learn pyAnsys. I hope this is going to be a interesting journey.
I have installed pyMAPDL module successfully on V2021R2.
When i am trying to verify the installation, MADPL is not launched successfully. The error messages are given below.
May i please know any suggestions to fix this issue ?

Hi @SanthoshMansys , are you using a VPN? If so, could you please try:

?

I've had issues with this as well. DMP mode doesn't work after Checkpoint has been started (even is it's been shutdown). You have to outright restart, and assuming you have a local license server, use that to be able to enable DMP.

Best approach if you have to deal with checkpoint is to do as @pmaroneh indicated; start using SMP.

I could use SMP option with and without VPN connected. But not DMP option in V2021R2, even after restarting my machine and no VPN connected. For now i will start using SMP.

I'm checking into this and there might be a smarter way to start MAPDL in 2021R2 to get DMP used.

Hi @SanthoshMansys you may want to try switching to MS MPI...if this is still an issue for you.

mapdl = launch_mapdl(additional_switches='-mpi msmpi')

Intel MPI can be fussy with VPNs etc. This is not a cure all, but works sometimes.

This should be fixed by now.

Since #611 the default MPI compiler in Windows is Microsoft Compiler (-mpi msmpi)
