Issue with entering character array via pymapdl

[AnsMainak]

I'm trying to input a character array parameter into pymapdl:
mapdl.prep7()
mapdl.dim("bldcompn","STRING",9)
mapdl.run("bldcompn(1)='bladeelem'")
but end up getting this error:
mapdl.run("BLDCOMPN (1) = 'bladeelem'")

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "d:\Python\Pyansys.........\venv\lib\site-packages\ansys\mapdl\core\mapdl.py", line 2343, in run
self._check_parameter_name(param_name)

raise ValueError(
ValueError: The parameter name BLDCOMPN (1) is an invalid parameter name.Only letters, numbers and _ are permitted, up to 32 characters long.It cannot start with a number either.

The equivalent commands work directly in ansys.

Hi

This was fixed in the recent version. Please do update PyMAPDL:

pip install ansys-mapdl-core --upgrade

Thanks! Can confirm it works on 0.61.5
