PADT’s Alex Grishin is back with another useful article on how he is using the Ansys scripting python API, PyAnsys <\/a>to do cool things in Ansys Mechanical. This presentation is actually something he did with a customer, Nathan Hays from nuLUCA.<\/p>\n\n\n

This is a more difficult application of the PyAnsys toolset. Using Ansys DPF, Alex worked with Nathan to automate the simulation of a bio-mimetic residential tile design. nuLUCA uses Rhino to model the complex “nature-inspired” geometry and to generate the mesh. The problem is that Ansys doesn’t have a direct interface to Rhino. They decided this was a great chance to show how to use the pyAnsys tools and also how to automate the importation process in Rhino as another option. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They ended up using the popular meshing python library pyVista, which is built into pyMAPDL and pyDPF-Post. To learn more about pyMAPDL and pyDPF-Post, check out his previous article here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although this article focuses on the pyAnsys scripting, it also includes an Appendix on how to export the heat flux data from Rhino Ladybug using c#.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
