Installation

The ansys-fluent-visualization package currently supports Python 3.7 through Python 3.10 on Windows and Linux.

If you’re using Python 3.10, install the vtk package from .whl file here in Windows or here in Linux.

Install the latest release from PyPI with:

pip install ansys-fluent-visualization

Alternatively, install the latest from pyfluent-visualization GitHub via:

pip install git+https://github.com/pyansys/pyfluent-visualization.git

If you plan on doing local “development” of PyFluent with Git, then install with:

git clone https://github.com/pyansys/pyfluent-visualization.git
cd pyfluent-visualization
pip install pip -U
pip install -e .

Dependencies

You will need a locally installed licensed copy of ANSYS to run Fluent, with the first supported version being Ansys 2022 R2.

Getting Started

Basic Usage

from ansys.fluent.visualization.pyvista import Graphics
graphics = Graphics(session=session)
temperature_contour = graphics.Contours["contour-temperature"]
temperature_contour.field = "temperature"
temperature_contour.surfaces_list = ["in1", "in2", "out1"]
temperature_contour.display("window-1")

Above code assumes that a PyFluent session has already been created and a Fluent case with input parameters has been set up. The Analyzing Your Results in the user guide has a complete example.
