ANSYS Docker gets stuck when model diverges

[chart-magnum]

Hi,

I noticed while running ANSYS from the Docker image that it may get stuck in case of a failure of a model. When this happens, I open the docker image terminal and can see from the file.err log that there was an error in executing a model. This had to do with solver convergence problems (e.g., boundary conditions not satisified). On Desktop in this case I would have been asked with a popup window whether I want to continue execution. For docker it is naturally not possible. Is there a solution to that problem? Would mapdl.input() return an error code in this case? Alternatively, would it be possible to provide a timeout for a simulation?

Thank you in advance!

Hi @chart-magnum, can you share a minimum working example?
