Hi, 

I have just started with PyMechanical. However, I am struggling to find documentation on the library. 

I have an ansys model already meshed as an .inp file. How can I import that directly into PyMechanical?

Thanks in advance, 

Ben

Not to worry. 

I have found the documentation here: import_model — PyACP

Hi

This post shows how to import the cdb file into a standalone mechanical or via pymechanical (you need to save a .cdb file not a ds.dat ).

All the best

Erik

PS : this link shows how to save a cdb file :

Hi Erik,

I also have the model in .cdb format so thats fine.

The problem is the link I sent above is for pyACP. Do you know how I can do it for pyMechanical?

Cheers

Thank you Erik!

Here it is for anyone else:

# Import the model

mimp=Model.GeometryImportGroup.AddModelImport()

mimp.ModelImportSourceFilePath=input_file

mimp.Import()

That is great - glad it helped.

Thank you

Erik
