Ansys Mechanical Scripting

Course Overview

The scope of this training is to cover the Ansys Mechanical Scripting. You will learn how to use the console and to access Mechanical’s API. After completing the course, you will be able to automate the creation of standard tree objects in Mechanical/Meshing; change the solver settings; automatically explore the mesh and geometry and export results.  This course may be use as a steppingstone to the Introduction to ACT in Mechanical class. 

Prerequisites

  • Knowledge of Ansys Workbench and Mechanical is required.  
  • A basic knowledge of Python programming is recommended but not required. 

Teaching Method
