PyMAPDL Developer Portal articles#
In this section, you’ll find informative and insightful blog articles crafted by the expert developers at Ansys and published in the Developer Portal. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just getting started with PyMAPDL, the blog articles cover a wide range of topics, from best practices and tips to in-depth tutorials and real-world use cases. The aim is to provide you with a valuable resource that can help you harness the full potential of PyMAPDL for your engineering and simulation needs.
Because the Developer Portal is your hub for all things related to Ansys products, if you have questions or suggestions, you can go there to connect to Ansys experts and the growing Ansys developer community.
PyMAPDL examples repository#
The Verification Manual examples and the Technology Showcase examples are hosted in the PyMAPDL Examples repository.
The documentation to these examples can be found in the PyMAPDL Examples documentation.
Verification manual examples#
The Verification Manual examples demonstrate a range of Mechanical APDL elements and capabilities in straightforward problems which have “classical” or readily obtainable theoretical solutions using PyMAPDL.
These problems may then serve as the basis for additional validation and qualification of Mechanical APDL capabilities for specific applications that may be of interest.
The documentation to these examples can be found in the Verification Manual section.
Technology showcase examples#
The PyMAPDL technology showcase examples are more complex test cases than the ones preceding. They demonstrate how to use PyMAPDL to effectively and accurately solve interdisciplinary problems from a variety of industries and engineering fields.
The examples initially come from the APDL Technology Showcase Manual and are modeled with MAPDL files. Some of them have been
reproduced in Python files using PyMAPDL with the ansys-mapdl-core
library.
The documentation to these examples can be found in the Technology Showcases section.
Extended examples#
These extended examples explain concepts such as interoperability with other programs, libraries, and features in development.
