Python is quite good at reading, writing and finding things in text files. This allows us to develop tools that can be used to find data in NASTRAN inputs files and create the ANSYS APDL equivalent.

PyWorkbench is a powerful client library that enhances the Ansys Workbench platform for engineering simulations. This guide introduces key concepts and practical strategies for using PyWorkbench, making your engineering simulations more efficient and effective.

This series continues by exploring two notable exceptions to the self parameter for methods, classmethod and staticmethod.

This article walks users through creating coordinate systems from the coordinates of three non-colinear points, and then using two coordinate systems to align the external imported data with the current Mechanical model. This tool allows users to eliminate the guesswork from the alignment process and improve the accuracy of data alignment.

Part-four of this series sees us move from the "basic" knowledge required to understand classes and into more "intermediate" topics - starting with mutability of dataclasses.

Part-three in a ten-part series, this article introduces adding methods to your data classes.

Part-two of this series covers constructing one of the simplest and most useful types of class, data classes and the reasons you may want to do this in the first place.

In Python you may hear this phrase said a lot "everything is an object", which they are! Objects, that is.

Understand the basics of programming in Python but heard a lot about "classes" without being sure what they are or how they'd be useful to you? This article series is for you.
