Examples

Here is a series of examples using Mechanical with the PyMechanical. Examples are organized by the mode they use:

• Embedding mode examples use the App class for direct object model access.

• Remote session mode examples use the launch_mechanical() and run_python_script() methods.

If you are not sure which mode to use, see Choose your mode.

Important

Some examples use Mechanical features that require a specific license level. For example, harmonic acoustics is not available with an Ansys Mechanical Pro license. If an example fails, verify that your Mechanical license supports all analyses and features used by the example. A license-related failure does not necessarily indicate a problem with your PyMechanical setup. For information on inspecting and selecting licenses, see License management.

Advanced examples: embedding mode

This section contains examples that demonstrate advanced capabilities of Mechanical using PyMechanical in embedding mode (App class). For more information, see Advanced examples: embedding mode.

Basic examples: Remote session mode

Remote session examples demonstrate the simulation capabilities of Mechanical using remote session mode. This consists of using either the launch_mechanical() or run_python_script() methods.

For more information, see Remote sessions examples.
