Accessing parameters using PyMechanical

[BohdanHorban]

Hi All,

how to get all Ansys Mechanical project properties marked as parameters via PyAPI?

Hi @BohdanHorban , could you please clarify? Maybe by providing a few screenshots? I'm afraid I don't understand your question. Please note that the Ansys Developer Forum is prefered for these types of question.

Hi @pmaroneh , in the screenshot below you can see that we can mark a variable(property) as a parameter. I wonder if we can use PyMechanical/PyAPI to identify this variable among all others?

Hi @BohdanHorban, you can retrieve parameters and values this way: https://discuss.ansys.com/discussion/2719/retrieve-parameters-and-values?utm_source=community-search&utm_medium=organic-search&utm_term=parameters
These commands are for the project page, but you can send them from Mechanical to the project page using the methods explained here: https://discuss.ansys.com/discussion/comment/2699#Comment_2699?utm_source=community-search&utm_medium=organic-search&utm_term=run+Mechanical+project

I don't know if these parameters have any significance for pymechanical, as it is wrapping standalone mechanical which doesn't have access to the Workbench project page.

True. As we can't access the WB project page, I guess the only way would be to loop through all items in the tree, check whether they have an input scalar value, and if so check whether that value is a parameter...
