Hello Erik, thanks for the info. I was able to extract the apdl .dat file.
Now i want to execute it in batch mode in a linux machine:
ansys222 -i dava_linux.dat -o solve.out -b -np 16 -mpi openmpi
however i am getting the following error:
*** ERROR *** CP = 491.630 TIME= 15:16:26
An error, no CGNS error reported, occurred while attempting to check
the CGNS file \home\sim\ehsan\dava\walls.cgns, since the file is not a
CGNS file.
the cgns files are located in the directory correctly. running the same file in mechanical application mode i dont get any error and the cgns files are read correctly.
-----
problem solved!
in the dat file i had to give it the relative path rather than absolute path
