In this article, we will explore the relation between Mechanical Scripting and PyMechanical. Whether you are looking to streamline simulations, control input decks, perform proof-of-concept studies, or integrate Ansys Mechanical with other Python modules, PyMechanical provides the flexibility and efficiency you need.

If you are already using Python to automate and coordinate your workflows, you can now leverage PyMechanical as an interface to the Mechanical Scripting Interface. It is important to note that PyMechanical uses Standalone Mechanical, a beta feature that enables you to open a standalone version of Ansys Mechanical. This standalone version operates independently of Ansys whilst offering similar features. The differences are slight, and if you are well versed in the use of Mechanical, you should be able to use the standalone version with ease.Launching Standalone Mechanical is done with the following command:

We will provide a brief overview at how to instantiate both of these modes. If you are unfamiliar with, or do not have a virtual Python environment to use, please refer to the Ansys Python Manager article which can help you get started. Ansys Python Manager simplifies the process of deploying a virtual environment along with all the required Ansys modules for PyMechanical.

Instead of the command in the previous section to launch standalone Mechanical, one can use the following command (more details can be found in the documentation) in an environment that has the PyMechanical library installed:

In this mode, Mechanical runs as a server, ready to respond to any clients and PyMechanical acts as a client making API calls behind the scenes. To start a remote session of Mechanical on your local computer from Python, simply use the launch_mechanical() method. This creates an instance of the Mechanical class in the background and sends commands to it. The method returns an object representing the connection to the session.This works with interactive mode in Python and allows you to develop scripts in real time, before you run your work as a program (or in batch mode).

When Mechanical is active, you can send commands to it via the connection object, including Python scripts as strings which are evaluated at the other end. For example, you can send any Python script by storing it as a string.

In this mode, PyMechanical directly embeds a Mechanical instance as a Python object, and a Mechanical object is directly loaded into Python memory. No external instance of Mechanical is running. This embedded instance feature is supported on Windows starting from version 2023 R1, and it is supported on Linux from version 2023 R2.

In conclusion, PyMechanical empowers Method Developers, Engineers and Researchers to unlock the full potential of Ansys Mechanical by bringing it into the world of Python. Whether you choose to use PyMechanical as a client to a remote Mechanical session or embed an instance of Mechanical as a Python object, you can expand automation and integration possibilities with a wide array of Python functionalities.
