Cannot choose the coordinate system when using `Hfss.assign_primary` #1286

Closed tgoncalv closed 2 years ago

Before submitting the issue

Description of the bug

Hfss.assign_primary() allows to add a primary boundary in HFSS. To do so, we need to create a vector U by specifying the coordinates of its starting and ending point.

In HFSS, we can specify these points by using a specific coordinate system: image

There is also a parameter called coord_name in Hfss.assign_primary() which should allow us to choose a specific coordinate system. However, this parameter doesn't work for me....

Steps To Reproduce

from pyaedt import Hfss

app = Hfss(non_graphical=True)
box = app.modeler.create_box([0, 0, 0], [2, 2, 2])
box_face = box.faces[0]

cs = app.modeler.create_face_coordinate_system(
        face=box_face,
        origin=box_face,
        axis_position=box_face.edges[0],
        name='face_cs',
)

app.assign_primary(
        face=box_face,
        u_start=[0, 0, 0],
        u_end=[0.5, 0, 0],
        coord_name=cs.name,
)

Error in boundary creation for Primary Primary_C1525F.

Please note that I don't get this error when I change assign_primary by this:

app.assign_primary(
        face=box_face,
        u_start=[1, 1, 2],
        u_end=[1.5, 1, 2],
        coord_name=cs.name,
)

Here, u_start and u_end is located with regard to the Global coordinate system, despite that I explicitly say that I want to use another coordinate system.

Hi @tgoncalv ,

I have tested my machine with python 3.7 and 3.9 and AEDT 2022r1 and it works. The only difference could be the AEDT version, which one are you using?

You could debug and go to "assign_primary" method and check what is inside "props: image

Hi @Samuelopez-ansys , Thanks for your comment, I was using AEDT 2021r1 but I upgraded it to 2022r2 and this feature now works.
