Overview
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.
Installation
You can use pip to install PyAnsys Geometry.
pip install ansys-geometry-coreOr, using uv:
uv add ansys-geometry-coreFor optional graphics support (PyVista, VTK, pygltflib), install the graphics extra. To include all optional dependencies, use the all extra instead:
pip install "ansys-geometry-core[graphics]"
pip install "ansys-geometry-core[all]"uv add "ansys-geometry-core[graphics]"
uv add "ansys-geometry-core[all]"You can also install PyAnsys Geometry from Conda-Forge:
conda install -c conda-forge ansys-geometry-coreTo install the latest development version, run these commands:
Using pip:
git clone https://github.com/ansys/pyansys-geometry
cd pyansys-geometry
pip install -e .Using uv:
git clone https://github.com/ansys/pyansys-geometry
cd pyansys-geometry
uv syncFor more information, see Getting Started.
Basic usage
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()
# Export the model to SCDOCX format
file_path = design.export_to_scdocx()For comprehensive usage information, see Examples in the PyAnsys Geometry documentation.
