Project tree

The following example demonstrates how to print the heirarchial Mechanical project structure.

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 the mechdb file

mechdb_path = download_file("graphics_test.mechdb", "pymechanical", "test_files")

Load the mechdb file inside Mechanical

app.open(mechdb_path)

Display the project tree

app.print_tree()
