How can I set up a working directory?

[ufsaa2022]

Hello,
How can I set the working directory when running Mechanical with a Remote Session?
Is there a method like "run_location" in PyMAPDL?
launch_mapdl(run_location = "E:/")
Thanks !

@ufsaa2022 The application creates temporary files in this folder until you save your project. Once saved, the application writes files to the project directory. Launch Mechanical using remote session as below

import ansys.mechanical.core as pymechanical

mechanical = pymechanical.launch_mechanical()

here mechanical has property project_directory which can be accessed with mechanical.project_directory
If you want to change the temp folder you have to save the files in your desired folder.
