add_solution

Last update: 16.07.2026

Model.add_solution(name, id='', path=None, path2=None, format='ansys:rst', subcase=(False, 0), set=-1, load_factor=(False, 0.0), read_stresses_strains=True, use_felyx_to_compute_pp_results=True, use_solid_results=True, recompute_iss_of_solids=False, renumbering_mapping_paths=[], ext_id='', active=True)

Load a nodal solution from one or more files and add it to the model.

Parameters

  • name: Custom name of the solution.
  • path: Path to the data file.
  • path2: Optional path to second result file. Useful for ANSYS PRNSOL solution, where nodal deformations and nodal rotations can be exported to different files only.
  • format: File format string. Available options: ‘abaqus:fieldreport’, ‘ansys:prnsol’,’ansys:rst’, and ‘nastran:f06’.
  • subcase: Optional subcase to read. Only available for ‘nastran:f06’ format. (False,0) if not given in the F06 file.
  • load_factor: Optional load factor within substep of non-linear solution where the nodal solution should be taken from. Only available for ‘nastran:f06’ format. (False,0) if not given in the F06 file.
  • set: Result set for ANSYS RST files, None is last result set.
  • read_stresses_strains: Reads strain and stress results from the RST file (necessary to postprocess non-linear solutions).
  • ‘use_felyx_to_compute_pp_results’: Use ACP to compute strain and stress data.
  • use_solid_results: Mapps solid element solution onto ‘Layered Solid Reference Surface’.
  • recompute_iss_of_solids: For solids the interlaminar shear stresses are recalculated considering the laminate stacking.
  • renumbering_mapping_paths: List of paths of the assembly renumbering files used to map the results of composite assemblies.
  • active: Active/inactive flag.

Returns

The new Solution instance just added to the model.
