We don't issue beta versions very often, so you're better off waiting for the formal release: even more so given the "main" Ansys package and Rocky may not release at exactly the same time. I also don't know whether the fix will be applied by then. External UDFs should work, but given it's a reaction there may be an unexpected conflict somewhere. I'll remind my counterpart in the Rocky team.
