Python Primer for Ansys
Foundation for Ansys Scripting Trainings and PyAnsys
In this training, you will learn the basics of Python programming for using PyAnsys and automating your Ansys simulations. This training is offered as a 1-day course or alternatively as a self-paced eLearning course.
Duration
1 day
- Introduction to Python using simulation-relevant exercises
- Generate black-box applications with Python and PyAnsys
- Make simple applications available on servers or in the cloud
- Automate Ansys products: the basis for all further scripting courses
Description
Python is the basis for both scripting within Ansys products and PyAnsys (APIs around Ansys products), which help you automate and couple your simulation workflows to many different in-house or third-party applications. This helps in terms of process standardization and multi-product automation.
Thanks to its simple syntax, Python is an easy-to-learn programming language. In this course, the language Python and its fundamentals are the focus, keeping in mind that the user would eventually like to automate Ansys Products using PyAnsys APIs. You will learn how to use Python and PyAnsys to easily create black box applications, which can be used by non-experts, reducing the burden on experts. Furthermore, you will learn how to easily create and launch simple application on servers or cloud.
The course is aimed at both Ansys users and programmers wishing to automate Ansys products using Python and PyAnsys.
