PyAnsys Geometry is a Python client library for the Ansys Geometry service, as well as other CAD Ansys products such as Ansys Discovery and Ansys SpaceClaim.
You can use pip to install PyAnsys Geometry.
pip install ansys-geometry-coreTo install the latest development version, run these commands:
git clone https://github.com/ansys/pyansys-geometry
cd pyansys-geometry
pip install -e .For more information, see Getting Started.
This code shows how to import PyAnsys Geometry and use some basic capabilities:
from ansys.geometry.core import launch_modeler
from ansys.geometry.core.math import Plane, Point3D, Point2D
from ansys.geometry.core.misc import UNITS, Distance
from ansys.geometry.core.sketch import Sketch
# Define a sketch
origin = Point3D([0, 0, 10])
plane = Plane(origin, direction_x=[1, 0, 0], direction_y=[0, 1, 0])
# Create a sketch
sketch = Sketch(plane)
sketch.circle(Point2D([1, 1]), 30 * UNITS.m)
sketch.plot()
# Start a modeler session
modeler = launch_modeler()
# Create a design
design = modeler.create_design("ModelingDemo")
# Create a body directly on the design by extruding the sketch
body = design.extrude_sketch(
name="CylinderBody", sketch=sketch, distance=Distance(80, unit=UNITS.m)
)
# Plot the body
design.plot()For comprehensive usage information, see Examples in the PyAnsys Geometry documentation.
Documentation for the latest stable release of PyAnsys Geometry is hosted at PyAnsys Geometry documentation.
In the upper right corner of the documentation's title bar, there is an option for switching from viewing the documentation for the latest stable release to viewing the documentation for the development version or previously released versions.
