mapdl working directory should be python working directory.

[germa89]

Description of the feature

mapdl working directory should be python working directory.

Hence this should be possible:

If our python cwd is: C:\python_cwd, and we want to input something in C:\python_cwd\files\file.cdb, then you should be able to do:

mapdl.input('files\file.cdb')

Steps for implementing the feature

We need to modify mapdl.input.

Along the lines of path definition, it would be helpful that if a path is defined by:
ansys = launch_mapdl(run_location=args.path)
that pymapdl recognizes this is the location that any log files, outputs like results of cdwrite, etc. belong.

Having all the temporal files in the python directory can be a mess. I rather make PyMAPDL clever enough to look for in the right location.

Closing this because it was implemented in #783

This now works:

from ansys.mapdl.core import launch_mapdl
mapdl=launch_mapdl()

out = mapdl.input("input.inp")

print(out)

Where the input.inp file is in the working directory.
