**Version: 0.0.0**

## Description

Solve in mapdl a dat/inp file and returns a datasources with the rst file.

## Inputs

This table lists the input pins for this operator. Input pins define the data that the operator requires to perform its operation. Some inputs are required, while others are optional and provide additional configuration. Each parameter is detailed in the sections that follow the table.

### mapdl\_exe\_path (Pin 0)

- **Required:** No
- **Expected type(s):** [`string`](../../core-concepts/dpf-types.md#standard-types)

<a id="input_1"></a>

### working\_dir (Pin 1)

- **Required:** No
- **Expected type(s):** [`string`](../../core-concepts/dpf-types.md#standard-types)

<a id="input_2"></a>

### number\_of\_processes (Pin 2)

- **Required:** No
- **Expected type(s):** [`int32`](../../core-concepts/dpf-types.md#standard-types)

Set the number of MPI processes used for resolution (default is 2)

<a id="input_3"></a>

### number\_of\_threads (Pin 3)

- **Required:** No
- **Expected type(s):** [`int32`](../../core-concepts/dpf-types.md#standard-types)

Set the number of threads used for resolution (default is 1)

<a id="input_4"></a>

### data\_sources (Pin 4)

- **Required:** Yes
- **Expected type(s):** [`data_sources`](../../core-concepts/dpf-types.md#data-sources)

data sources containing the input file.

<a id="input_5"></a>

### server\_mode (Pin 5)

- **Required:** No
- **Expected type(s):** [`bool`](../../core-concepts/dpf-types.md#standard-types)

used when a user includes commands in the input file allowing to launch DPF server inside MAPDL to interact with MAPDL using DPF client API

## Outputs

This table lists the output pins for this operator. Output pins provide the results of the operator's computation and can be connected to inputs of other operators or retrieved for further processing. Each output is detailed in the sections that follow the table.

Pin numberNameExpected type(s)0[data\_sources](#output_0)[`data_sources`](../../core-concepts/dpf-types.md#data-sources)**1**[ip](#output_1)[`string`](../../core-concepts/dpf-types.md#standard-types)**2**[port](#output_2)[`string`](../../core-concepts/dpf-types.md#standard-types)<a id="output_0"></a>

### data\_sources (Pin 0)

- **Expected type(s):** [`data_sources`](../../core-concepts/dpf-types.md#data-sources)

returns the data source if the server\_mode pin is not set to yes

<a id="output_1"></a>

### ip (Pin 1)

- **Expected type(s):** [`string`](../../core-concepts/dpf-types.md#standard-types)

returns the Ip if the server\_mode pin is set to yes

<a id="output_2"></a>

### port (Pin 2)

- **Expected type(s):** [`string`](../../core-concepts/dpf-types.md#standard-types)

returns a port when the server mode pin is set to yes

## Configurations

This operator supports [configuration options](../../core-concepts/operator-configurations.md) that modify its behavior.

### [mutex](../../core-concepts/operator-configurations.md#mutex)

- **Expected type(s):** [`bool`](../../core-concepts/dpf-types.md#standard-types)
- **Default value:** false

If this option is set to true, the shared memory is prevented from being simultaneously accessed by multiple threads.

## Scripting

This operator can be accessed through scripting interfaces using these identifiers.

**Category**: result

**Plugin**: mapdl

**Scripting name**: mapdl.run

**Full name**: result.mapdl.run

**Internal name**: mapdl::run

**License**: None

## Examples

These examples demonstrate how to use this operator in different programming environments. Each example shows how to instantiate the operator, connect the required inputs, and retrieve the output.

C++```cpp
#include "dpf_api.h"

ansys::dpf::Operator op("mapdl::run"); // operator instantiation
op.connect(0, my_mapdl_exe_path);
op.connect(1, my_working_dir);
op.connect(2, my_number_of_processes);
op.connect(3, my_number_of_threads);
op.connect(4, my_data_sources);
op.connect(5, my_server_mode);
ansys::dpf::DataSources my_data_sources = op.getOutput<ansys::dpf::DataSources>(0);
std::string my_ip = op.getOutput<std::string>(1);
std::string my_port = op.getOutput<std::string>(2);

```

CPython```python
import ansys.dpf.core as dpf

op = dpf.operators.result.mapdl.run() # operator instantiation
op.inputs.mapdl_exe_path.connect(my_mapdl_exe_path)
op.inputs.working_dir.connect(my_working_dir)
op.inputs.number_of_processes.connect(my_number_of_processes)
op.inputs.number_of_threads.connect(my_number_of_threads)
op.inputs.data_sources.connect(my_data_sources)
op.inputs.server_mode.connect(my_server_mode)
my_data_sources = op.outputs.data_sources()
my_ip = op.outputs.ip()
my_port = op.outputs.port()

```

IPython```python
import mech_dpf
import Ans.DataProcessing as dpf

op = dpf.operators.result.mapdl.run() # operator instantiation
op.inputs.mapdl_exe_path.Connect(my_mapdl_exe_path)
op.inputs.working_dir.Connect(my_working_dir)
op.inputs.number_of_processes.Connect(my_number_of_processes)
op.inputs.number_of_threads.Connect(my_number_of_threads)
op.inputs.data_sources.Connect(my_data_sources)
op.inputs.server_mode.Connect(my_server_mode)
my_data_sources = op.outputs.data_sources.GetData()
my_ip = op.outputs.ip.GetData()
my_port = op.outputs.port.GetData()

```
