hi all,

When I use Mechanical for drop testing in Linux, I use pymechanical to read the geometry file:

mechanical = pymechanical.launch_mechanical(exec_file=workbench_path, verbose_mechanical=True, batch=True, loglevel="DEBUG", log_file=True, log_mechanical="pymechanical") 

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

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

geo_import = Model.GeometryImportGroup.AddGeometryImport()

geo_import.Import("{geo_path:s}", geo_import_format, geo_import_preferences)

xxxxxx

dyna = Model.AddLSDynaAnalysis()

xxxxxxxx

However, I recently learned that directly importing the geometry file into Mechanical and then using LSDYNA is incorrect. Could you please tell me how to complete the drop test using a Python script?

On Windows, my process is as follows:

1.  Open Mechanical.

2.  Import the geometry file.

3.  Then run the script, which uses dyna = Model.AddLSDynaAnalysis(), but this way I am unable to solve the problem.

Unless I follow these steps:

1.  Open Workbench.

2.  Open LSDYNA.

3.  Import the geometry model.

4.  Run the script, which allows for normal solving.

Hey,

This forum is to discuss workbench LS Dyna and LS Dyna suite. If you need help with pyansys i suggest you look into Ansys Developer Portal | Ansys Developer Portal and forum for the same can be accessed here Home - Community Forum
Also try exploring these examples LS-Dyna analysis — pymechanical-examples and Ball plate — PyDYNA.
