Hello, 

I have a problem while importing a .sat file into pyANSYS by the following way:

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

from ansys.mapdl.core import examples

# note that this method just returns a file path
bearing_file = "C:/Users/HertingerT/Desktop/Gestufte Lagerung/33213.sat"

mapdl.aux15()

mapdl.satin(name="bearing", extension=".sat" ,path=bearing_file, entity="ALL", fmt="1")
print(mapdl.geometry)
mapdl.vplot(vtk=True)

mapdl.exit()

Is there a general problem with the code or is that related to the .sat file?

Here is the output in pyANSYS:

MAPDL Selected Geometry
Keypoints:  0
Lines:      0
Areas:      0
Volumes:    0

Thank you,

Tim

Hi 

Can you post this in the pymapdl forum below as this might be a limitation or issue.

Hi Erik, 

thanks for your reply. 

I´ve also tried to remove the whitespace in the folder directory but that doesn´t help to solve the problem. 

I will post that issue in the pymapdl forum as well.

Hi

There is a post there from our team with some suggestions on how to use the command (so ‘file’ can not have the .sat extension in it) https://github.com/ansys/pymapdl/issues/2285

Use the below code that works:

 

filepath = ‘C:\\Users\\HertingerT\\Desktop\\GestufteLagerung’
file = ‘33213’ # no .sat extension here!

 

#### Launch pymapdl
mapdl = launch_mapdl(run_location= here,override=True)
mapdl.aux15()
mapdl.satin(name = file , extension = ‘sat’,  path = filepath, entity = ‘ALL’, noan = 0)
mapdl.allsel()
mapdl.vplot()

mapdl.exit()
