Description

See related PyMechanical issue

For this user, get_mechanical_path(False) poins to v212

ansys.tools.path.get_mechanical_path(False)
'C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\v212\aisol\bin\winx64\AnsysWBU.exe'

But,

ansys.mechanical.core.find_mechanical()[0].

apparently points to a newer installation.
