Pythonic interfaces to Ansys products

Welcome to the PyAnsys project.

The PyAnsys project is a collection of Python packages that enable the use of Ansys products through Python.

This project originated as a single package, pyansys, and has expanded to several main packages:

• PyAEDT : Pythonic interface to AEDT (Ansys Electronic Desktop)

• PyDPF-Core : Pythonic interface to DPF (Data Processing Framework) for building more advanced and customized workflows

• PyDPF-Post : Pythonic interface to DPF’s postprocessing toolbox for manipulating and transforming simulation data

• PyMAPDL : Pythonic interface to MAPDL.

• PyMAPDL Reader: Pythonic interface to read legacy MAPDL result files (MAPDL 14.5 and later)

• PyPIM: Pythonic interface to communicate with the PIM (Product Instance Management) API

• Granta MI BoM Analytics: Pythonic interface to Granta MI BoM Analytics services

• Shared Components: Shared software components to enable package interoperability and minimize maintenance

Much effort is underway to continue expanding and developing packages in the PyAnsys GitHub account. On the Issues page for each package, you can post issues and request new features. You can also email questions to PyAnsys Support.

PIP package installation

You must install the applicable packages for an Ansys product. While there are multiple ways to install a Python package on your local machine, pip is the package installer for Python. For your convenience, this section provides the pip commands for downloading and installing the most recent PyAnsys packages. The next section provides links to comprehensive resources for these packages.
