3D visualization

The following example demonstrates how to visualize imported geometry in 3D.

Import the necessary libraries

from ansys.mechanical.core import App
from ansys.mechanical.core.examples import delete_downloads, download_file

Initialize the embedded application

app = App(globals=globals())
print(app)

Ansys Mechanical [Ansys Mechanical Enterprise]
Product Version:251
Software build date: 11/27/2024 09:34:44

Download and import the geometry file

Download the geometry file

geometry_path = download_file("Valve.pmdb", "pymechanical", "embedding")

Define the model and import the geometry file

model = app.Model

geometry_import = model.GeometryImportGroup.AddGeometryImport()
geometry_import.Import(geometry_path)

Visualize the model in 3D

app.plot()

Static Scene

Interactive Scene

Note

This visualization is currently available only for geometry and on version 24R2 or later

Clean up the files and app

# Delete the downloaded files
delete_downloads()

# Close the app
app.close()
