Description of the bug

Hello,

I used the analyze() method at first without the acf_file parameter, but with settings for my server or localhost (cores, RAM, gpu...). This generates me an acf_file in the .pyaedt directory created for my project.
In a second step I want to use now an acf file for the analysis configuration and tested exactly with the same file that was created by analyze method. The file seems to be identified (path is correct) and it also changes the settings like number of cores. which i checked in the GUI. But the analysis of my setup does not work, I get the following error message, which looks like a bug in the acf reading here with the analysis method:

"Invalid setup "test_config"." There is no error in the Jupyter lab given, but the message is given in the GUI.

Best regards

Steps To Reproduce

• Open an HFSS project with valid analysis setup
• Analyze with analyze() method (not the analyze_setup method), like this: hfss.analyze(setup="ATK_Solution", cores=4, gpus=0, machine="localhost") -> this solves the existing setup
• Clean up solutions in the GUI to be able to solve again
• Replace the hfss.analyze method above by one including the acp_file parameter, like this: hfss.analyze(setup="ATK_Solution", acf_file=acf). Here, acf is the full path to the acf file "pyaedt_config.acf", e.g. the original one that was created with the first analyze, or a modified version
• The error message "Invalid setup "pyaedt_config" will appear in the GUI, the setup will not be analyzed again
• But when checking the analysis configurations, there is an effect, which means, the acf file was read. I checked this by doing a modification to the pyaedt_config.acf, like changing the number of cores from 4 to 2
