I would like to automate the simulation process of a 2D axisymmetric model using Static Structural Analysis so I am resorting to using PyMechanical by running Python scripts in Ansys Mechanical through VS Code using the ansys.mechanical.core package. I have already been able to run a full simulation through VS Dode.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The geometry I am using is a Parametarized Model made in Siemens NX and has to be imported into Mechanical with the Parameter Key &#8220;PH&#8221;. The parameters can then be adjusted to vary the geometry without the need to modify the model on NX.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Doing this manually on Workbench is simple:&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/20-11-2024-1732104847-mceclip1.png\" width=\"315\" height=\"203\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/20-11-2024-1732104931-mceclip2.png\" \/>&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, I am not able to read or adjust these Parameters using scripting. I am also not even able to enter the correct Parameter Key.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is one of the attempts I made to try and incorporate the Parameters using scripting:&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/20-11-2024-1732105987-mceclip3.png\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/20-11-2024-1732106401-mceclip4.png\" \/>&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When I try to change these options manually through the GUI, I am able to apply the changes I need but the Parameter are still not displayed. How can I use scripting to detect the Geomteric Parameters and adjust them in order to rerun the simulation?&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;My experiment aims to produce a very large number of simulations while varying these parameters, so doing this process manually through Workbench each time is out of the question.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I highly appreciate you help in this matter as I have not been able to find any helpful resouces online.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thank you in advance&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-394514","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-ansysworkbench-ansys-staticstructural","topic-tag-2d-axisymmetric","topic-tag-desingmodeler-cad-geometry-solidworks-parameters","topic-tag-python","topic-tag-python-scripts-2"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 4.9.10 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Hello everyone,I am a PhD student and I am new to scripting in Mechanical but I already have some experience in Python.
