Geometry Analysis Name Via API

[Cooper Cook]

Hi all,

Running some Geometry Analyses in 3.51.2, in the GUI, I can name a Geometry Analysis before I "Add" it to the Geometry Analyses. I would like to be able to do this through the API as well.

I've looked through the API docs and am having trouble finding anything about the "Name" parameter. I would guess that it could be an analysis input for "GeometryAnalysis", but it is not listed when I run vsp.GetAnalysisInputNames("GeometryAnalysis"), only "CaseID" is listed. The other place I could think it would be is under the "InterferenceCase" parm group for a Geometry Analysis case, but the name doesn't appear to be in there either.

Is there another place this may be referenced in the API? Or are there plans to add this into the API?

Best regards,

Cooper

When you add a geometry analysis...

https://openvsp.org/api_docs/latest/group___analysis.html#ga381025a7874d7147564ba5c2caee8820

It returns an ID for that analysis.

That analysis is actually a ParmContainer.  So, any API call that works on Parm Containers will work on the Geometry Analysis...

https://openvsp.org/api_docs/latest/group___parm_container.html

In particular, you configure the GA by adjusting the Parms in that ParmContainer.

To execute the GA, you use the Analysis Manager and set the 'CaseID' to the ID for that particular Geometry Analysis.
