Hi

There is not much description given.

We assume your refer to pyAnsys and pyMechanical?

See here for tutorials:

https://mechanical.docs.pyansys.com/version/0.8/getting_started/index.html

https://embedding.examples.mechanical.docs.pyansys.com/examples/basic/valve.html#sphx-glr-examples-basic-valve-py

Hope this helps

All the best

Hello, I was trying to launch Mechanical 2022 R1 with PyMechanical, which is not supported, so I installed 2023 R1, and the previous error is resolved.

However, I am having an issue with geometry import. I checked the geometry file path, it is correct and works when I run my code in Mechanical Scripting module. When I print the state of geometry import group, I get "NotSolved". Would anyone know why this happens?

Following is the error I get, with an embedded instance of Mechanical in Python:-

Hi

Please install 2023 R2 and try this code (which works of course if all is set up ok):

import os

import smtplib

import ansys.mechanical.core as mech

work_dir = r'D:\PyAnsys\PyMechanical\demo'

path_to_232 = r'C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\v232'

app = mech.App(version=232) # starts a non-graphical Mechanical session within the python.exe

globals().update(mech.global_variables(app)) # update global variables to get access to the same Model, DataModel, etc variables as in the Mechanical scripting consoleâ€

# Add static analysis

analysis = Model.AddStaticStructuralAnalysis()

# Import geometry

geometry_file = os.path.join(work_dir,'Valve.scdoc')

geometry_import = Model.GeometryImportGroup.AddGeometryImport()

geometry_import_format = Ansys.Mechanical.DataModel.Enums.GeometryImportPreference.Format.Automatic

geometry_import_preferences = Ansys.ACT.Mechanical.Utilities.GeometryImportPreferences()

geometry_import_preferences.ProcessNamedSelections = True

geometry_import.Import(geometry_file, geometry_import_format, geometry_import_preferences)
