A Python wrapper for Ansys MAPDL.
Project description
Overview
The PyMAPDL project supports Pythonic access to MAPDL to be able to communicate with the MAPDL process directly from Python. The latest ansys-mapdl-core package enables a more comprehensive interface with MAPDL and supports:
-
All the features of the original module (for example, Pythonic commands and interactive sessions).
-
Remote connections to MAPDL from anywhere via gRPC.
-
Direct access to MAPDL arrays, meshes, and geometry as Python objects.
-
Low-level access to the MAPDL solver through APDL math in a SciPy- like interface.
Here's a quick demo of PyMAPDL within Visual Studio Code:
PyMAPDL works within Jupyter Notebooks, the standard Python console, or in batch mode on Windows, Linux, and even Mac OS.
Documentation and issues
Documentation for the latest stable release of PyMAPDL is hosted at PyMAPDL Documentation.
In the upper right corner of the documentation's title bar, there is an option for switching from viewing the documentation for the latest stable release to viewing the documentation for the development version or previously released versions.
You can also view or download the PyMAPDL cheat sheet. This one-page reference provides syntax rules and commands for using PyMAPDL.
For troubleshooting, visit Troubleshooting PyMAPDL
On the PyMAPDL Issues page, you can create issues to report bugs and request new features. On the PyMAPDL Discussions page or the Discussions page on the Ansys Developer portal, you can post questions, share ideas, and get community feedback.
To reach the project support team, email PyAnsys Core team. Unfortunately, this team cannot answer specific library questions or issues. You must use the PyMAPDL Issues and PyMAPDL Discussions pages for raising issues, request new features, and asking questions.
You can contribute to PyMAPDL by developing new features, fixing bugs, improving the documentation, fixing typos, writing examples, etc. To learn how to contribute to PyMAPDL, visit Contributing section.
Project transition - legacy support
This project was formerly known as pyansys, and we'd like to thank
all the early adopters, contributors, and users who submitted issues,
gave feedback, and contributed code through the years. The
pyansys project has been taken up at Ansys and is being leveraged in
creating new Pythonic, cross-platform, and multi-language service-based
interfaces for Ansys's products. Your contributions to
pyansys has shaped it into a better solution.
The pyansys project is expanding beyond just MAPDL, and while
there are many new features and changes to the original Python module,
many steps have been taken to ensure compatibility with legacy code
while supporting new features. The original Python module has been
split up into the following projects and modules:
