my ansys is 19.2,and I have the pymapdl of 0.65 and 0.66

Hi @qqw233111

Because you have an older version of MAPDL, PyMAPDL cannot connect using gRPC interface and it is using the CORBA interace. See https://mapdl.docs.pyansys.com/version/stable/getting_started/versioning.html#compatibility-between-mapdl-and-interfaces. That interface is not supported anymore.

My advice, is to use a new MAPDL version, you can download it following: https://mapdl.docs.pyansys.com/version/stable/getting_started/install_mapdl.html

Hi,germa89
But if I need to use the ansys19.2,how can I use the pymapdl and use the python to work in ansys.

[mikerife]

@qqw233111 why do you need to use an old version of MAPDL?

[germa89]

@qqw233111 same as @mikerife ... what is the reason to use 19.2? Most of newer MAPDL can work with older MAPDL code.

[germa89]

And the gRPC interface (after 2021R2) is more stable/tested than CORBA.
