Hello,

I'm running a script to set up a module in 3DLayout. I get the following error and the script execution fails:

*Global - Messages

  [error] Error executing script in C:\Users\nkumar\Desktop\XXXXX\YYYYY\setupScript.py:

The line (line 450) the error is pointing to in the script is:

236 >>> clr.AddReference('Ansys.Ansoft.Edb)

237 >>> import Ansys.Ansoft.Edb as edb

...

450 >>> db = edb.Database.Open(aedb_folder_3_updated_stackup, False)

 

If I run the script again, the script works. I'm trying to figure out why this is happening. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Nithin

Please have a look at the PyAEDT examples, especially the example concering EDB creation:

https://aedt.docs.pyansys.com/version/stable/examples/index.html

This should give an idea about how to properly create an EDB using automation. If you think there is an issue with PyAEDT, please file it here:

Hi Aymen,

This script was written in IronPython and doesn't use PyAEDT.

Thanks,

Nithin
