Hello Everyone! The Developer Forum has now migrated to a new Synopsys sub-domain. The URL of the forum is... https://developerforum.synopsys.com/ All addresses should otherwise follow the same format as before; only the base URL is changing. There should be nothing any of you need to do! We have redirects in place meaning…

Hello Everyone! The Ansys Developer Forum has been in operation for some time now and we want to hear what you (non-Ansys users) think of it. If you have any feedback on how things could be developed further, areas you think could be improved and how useful the site has otherwise been for you and your company please please…

So I came here to post a question, but I logged in and now I can't post? I get this error Who do I need to talk to to get this fixed?

Welcome to the Ansys Developer community! If you are using the developer tool packages with Ansys simulation tools then this is your community space. This community has been created to ask questions of your peers, exchange ideas, and converse about developer issues within an Ansys context. Here are some guidelines: Keep…

Hello to our forum and portal users! We are very excited to be on the verge of rolling out our new unified search for the Ansys Developer Portal and Forums. This search will bring together the documentation and articles from the dev portal and posts and information on the forum into a new single search. Over time we will…

I would like to create a mapping file, supported by a snippet, so that I can import every requirement in codebeamer to medini as goal. I always fail with the js file. could you give me an example, how I can do this? Sven

Can the feature "Copy to Clipboard" be scripted in Mechanical ?

Dear support, I am trying to mark cells with a certain quality range for visualization and assessment of the grid. So far the only utility in pyfluent that allows to do this is the method mark_faces_by_quality. For instance, if we run the following command:…

Hi, I am trying to convert the output rst file from an Ansys static structural analysis to a different file format for post processing. I am aware of ansys DPF, but there are some scripting operations that can be more efficiently done with numpy since they rely on conditional statements. I have successfully converted an…

Hi community, I am not sure https://github.com/ansys/saf is the right repo to do so. Is-it? Could someone please confirm? Thanks BR/L.

Dear support, I have created a cavity using session.tui.mesh.cavity.replace_zones(...) This generates a cavity domain which is named by default as 'cavity-2' that can be activated using: session.tui.mesh.domains.activate('cavity-2') However this can be quite confusing when working with multiple cavities and I couldn't find…

Hello all, In one of the javascript files that I'm testing in one of the Functional Safety projects using Qkit, I'm facing the following issue: Qkit is not able to replay the click on an alert's OK button even if it was recorded using QKit itself. The code of the alert used in javascript file is :…

Hi, Is there a way to control edge color in Mechanical? I haven't found anything documented. Thank you and BR Josip

What worked before For about 2 years I use dpf.operators.result.mapdl_section() to get the section thickness of all shells in my models. dpfdatasource = dpf.DataSources(rstpath)model = dpf.Model(data_sources=dpfdatasource)msh = model.metadata.meshed_regionsections = msh .property_field('section')shellthickness =…

As we know, MAPDL allows us to get the stress failure criteria using FC command in POST1. However, if we want to stay at Mechanical GUI and have an interactive plot, how can it be done?

Hello all, For one of the scripts needed in some functional Safety Analysis, it was mandatory to create a Dialog Box window for asking the user to enter some values needed for the generation of ppFMEDA worksheets. The DialogBox was created using SWT and Shell classes, but unfortunately Qkit wasn't able to recognize the…

I am trying to change the value of a specific row in the Scale Tabular data for a Transient Thermal analysis boundary condition (e.g., HB_LHS) using an Ansys Mechanical script. Does anyone have a Python example or know the correct API method to update these tabular values?

I have two models, the first one with finer mesh the second one with only a subset of bodies and coarser meshing. I want to apply displacements from two Named Selections of model 1 to the identical, but more coarsely meshed Named Selections of model 2. I thought this would be a standard task, but it seems it needs some…

Hi, Everything is in the title. It seems that there's no operator to extract data like stress along a defined path using pydpf core. Is there a way to do so or is something planned on this subject ?

Hi, I try to reproduce vm180 and vm290 using pydpf core. In these cases, results have to be extracted in rsys,1 or rsys,2. I didn't find a proper way to achieve this. Is there a way to do so? Thanks in advance !

The idea is to export all named selections from a Disco file and import them into a new geometry with pretty similar shape.

Hello everyone. my name is Firdaus. I am from Indonesia, and I am currently learning Ansys fluent for my further academic project. I have several confusion to simulate a 2D turbine.

If a named selection is created based on plies with same material, fiber orientation system cannot be selected, since each ply might have a different orientation. This is easily doable in PyDPF-Composites, but it requires to move away from Mechanical GUI. Is there any option to stay in Mechanical GUI and get stresses on…

Here are some tips and examples for how to run these applications with PyAnsys and utilize AI to run the applications from any platform. AI needs to do 2 things to control the Ansys applications: 1. Create/Modify python code 2. Execute python code With those 2 abilities alone, you can run Ansys tools, and AI is really,…

Hello to all the community. At the moment I'm struggling with a feature of Medini BIRT interface. The pourpose was to create a table for the FMEA view in AIAG VDA format. As first try i would like to create a nested table connection, but i still not getting the values. Medini version i'm using is 2023 R1. Data source is…

The forum now has tags and space for Synopsys QuantumATK questions should you wish to ask any. Keep an eye out for new visitors and please welcome them to the site!

I am not able to find an operator which works similarly to the EPTO in Ansys. Can someone suggests how to extract this quantity?

I wrote a python script to combine MECHANICAL results. I need to know the exact components of the bearing loads applied to the model. Can I get them using pyDPF ? Presently I extract them from the ds.dat file and it's not as robust as I would like : ds.dat is modified at each MECHANICAL version. Thank you for your help !

Hi all, I am currently writing a script which requires me to have nodal force and moment components along a given edge. For reference, all bodies within the model are shells. For forces this is trivial using dpf.operators.result.element_nodal_forces, however from what I can see there doesn't seem to be an equivalent in DPF…

Hi all, I have a Problem with the display of the output of one of my dynamic constraints. The constraint creates a list of all requirements used in the FMEDA sheet, to check if all specified ones have been used. This is the snippet that creates the set: let MessageArg1:String =…

Hi, I'm trying to create a Python result on a named selection of faces by following below link. https://developer.ansys.com/blog/script-tip-friday-examples-python-results-mechanical-part-2 but same as the example, the nodes are displayed and causing severe lag with large model. How can I make the plot in the plot view…

I have a python script wherein I have imported library "ansys.dpf.core". The code works fine when I run python file but when I convert it to exe file and the run it , it gives an error error:" File "pyimod03_ctypes.py", line 53, in __init__ File "ctypes\__init__.py", line 462, in __init__FileNotFoundError: Could not find…

Hello, Does anybody know if it is possible to control the attributes "thickness" and "color" of the line interconnecting a probe label and the location that it is scoped to? This is the label object: resultObject=ExtAPI.DataModel.GetObjectsByName('Equivalent Stress')[0] probeLabel =…
