Static structural analysis#

Using supplied files, this example shows how to insert a static structural analysis into a new Mechanical session and execute a sequence of Python scripting commands that define and solve the analysis. The example then shows how to report deformation results.

Download required files#

Download the required files. Print the file path for the geometry file.

import os

from ansys.mechanical.core import launch_mechanical
from ansys.mechanical.core.examples import download_file

geometry_path = download_file("example_01_geometry.agdb", "pymechanical", "00_basic")
print(f"Downloaded the geometry file to: {geometry_path}")
Downloaded the geometry file to: /home/runner/.local/share/ansys_mechanical_core/examples/example_01_geometry.agdb

Launch Mechanical#

Launch a new Mechanical session in batch, setting the cleanup_on_exit argument to False. To close this Mechanical session when finished, this example must call the mechanical.exit() method.

mechanical = launch_mechanical(batch=True, cleanup_on_exit=False)
print(mechanical)
