Windows compatibility about pymapdl HOT 23 CLOSED

Very nice. I hope my hint notes in my issue message were helpfull. Are you testing it in Windows? Διπλωματούχος Ηλεκτρολόγος Μηχανικός Δρ. Ηλεκτρακουστικής Εργαστηριακό Διδακτικό Προσωπικό Τμ.

Christos, Your notes were helpful as I'm able to establish that the code is having the same problems in your Windows enviornment as mine. I can boot into Windows or run it using VirtualBox when necessary for code testing. Alex Christos Sevastiadis writes:

Dear Alex, I had a lot of other works to do and I didn't have a lot of time. Anyway, I checked the documentation. I started already to work on CORBA, something difficult for me because of lack of any previous experience. I started with omniORBpy and I will try to do something. There is already some interest in XANSYS community list about the subject ANSYS with Python. The new version of pyansys is still problematic for my Anaconda distribution of Python on Windows 10. So, whenever I will have news I will inform you.

I've already prepared a windows cmd script for downloading and installing omniORBpy to the default registered Python environment. Anfortunately uses Windows Powershell for downloading and 7-zip for unziping, but it sets the environment variables for using omniORBpy in Python. It's working for me but the automatic PyPi approach is prefered. I'd started to work on omniORBpy examples but I had something else to finish and I left it for while.

Unfortunately these conda installs are not from the official Continuum Anaconda channel. Also, they are available either for Pyton 2.7 or Linux only. The best solution is pip, and conda will follow. Alex, you are going pretty fast in the subject and I can't follow you :).

Well done! I adapted a little bit what Alex did to run it in Windows and ANSYS 18.1. I had great results. The best should be to make some plots and return them. I don't know if CORB with this IDL can make it. Anyway, I was a little bit lost with the omniORB and omniORBpy. I installed it but I was trying to follow the tutorial with all the case studies. As I see, the colocation is enough and the IOP string is working perfect. I was trying to do somehtin with 'ansys-mode' package in 'emacs' editor. It was supporting interactive mode with ANSYS only in Linux (UNIX). This specific solution had nothing to do with Python, but the idea of coding in an code editor and running the code in ANSYS Mechanical is missing from ANSYS Mechanical. The Workbench solution with ACT and IronPython is looking little bit strange to me and I didn't make it till now. Anyway, Alex, you made great job. I hope that omniORBpy will become available to PyPi -realy, why it is not already there. After all, 'pyansys' can make the breakthrough in APDL coding. I've already installed omniORBpy in my Miniconda Python installation in Windows with the attached install_omniORBpy.bat command code. I copied the ICoMapdlUnit.idl file from C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\v181\ansys\customize\user to my project path. # I compiled the ICoMapdlUnit.idl file as Alex did.

ICoMapdlUnit.idl # I started Server Mode of ANSYS Mechanical in command line with
