Mapdl.finish(**kwargs)#

Exits normally from a processor.

Mechanical APDL Command: FINISH

Notes

This command exits any of the Mechanical APDL processors.

When exiting the Mechanical APDL processors, data remains intact in the database, but the database is not automatically written to a file. (Issue save to write the database to a file.)

If exiting POST1 or POST26:

• POST1: Data in the database remains intact (including the POST1 element table data, the path table data, the fatigue table data, and the load case pointers).

• POST26: Data in the database remains intact, except that POST26 variables are erased and specification commands (such as FILE, prtime, and nprint ) are reset. Issue quit to exit the processor and bypass these exceptions.

See quit for an alternate processor exit command.

This command is valid in any processor. This command is not valid at the Begin level.
