RunControls.menu(key='', **kwargs)#

Activates the Graphical User Interface (GUI).

Mechanical APDL Command: /MENU

Parameters:
keystr

Activation key:

  • ON - Activates the menu system (device dependent).

Notes

Activates the Graphical User Interface (GUI).

Warning

if you include the /MENU,ON command in your start.ans, it should be the lastcommand in the file. Any commands after /MENU,ON may be ignored. (It is not necessary to include the /SHOW and /MENU,ON commands in start.ansif you will be using the launcher to enter the Mechanical APDL program.)

This command is valid in any processor.
