Overview

PyEnSight is a Python wrapper for EnSight_, the Ansys simulation postprocessor. It supports Pythonic access to EnSight so that you communicate directly with it from Python. With PyEnSight, you can perform these essential actions:

Documentation and Issues

Documentation for the latest stable release of PyEnSight is hosted at PyEnSight documentation <https://ensight.docs.pyansys.com/version/stable/>_.

In the upper right corner of the documentation's title bar, there is an option for switching from viewing the documentation for the latest stable release to viewing the documentation for the development version or previously released versions.

You can also view <https://cheatsheets.docs.pyansys.com/pyensight_cheat_sheet.png>_ or download <https://cheatsheets.docs.pyansys.com/pyensight_cheat_sheet.pdf>_ the PyEnSight cheat sheet. This one-page reference provides syntax rules and commands for using PyEnSight.

On the PyEnSight Issues <https://github.com/ansys/pyensight/issues> page, you can create issues to report bugs and request new features. On the PyEnSight Discussions <https://github.com/ansys/pyensight/discussions> page or the Discussions <https://discuss.ansys.com/>_ page on the Ansys Developer portal, you can post questions, share ideas, and get community feedback.

To reach the project support team, email pyansys.core@ansys.com <pyansys.core@ansys.com>_.

Installation

To use PyEnSight, you must have a locally installed and licensed copy of Ansys EnSight 2022 R2 or later. The ansys-pyensight-core package supports Python 3.9 through Python 3.12 on Windows and Linux.

Two modes of installation are available:

User installation

Install the latest release from `PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/ansys-pyensight-core/>`_
with this command:

.. code::

   pip install ansys-pyensight-core

Developer installation

If you plan on doing local development of PyEnSight with GitHub, consider using a virtual environment <https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html>_.

To clone PyEnSight and then install it in a virtual environment, run these commands:

.. code::

git clone https://github.com/ansys/pyensight cd pyensight pip install virtualenv virtualenv venv # create virtual environment source venv/bin/activate # (.\venv\Scripts\activate for Windows shell) pip install .[dev] # install development dependencies

A developer installation allows you to edit ansys-pyensight files locally. Any changes that you make are reflected in your setup after restarting the Python kernel.

To build and install PyEnSight, run these commands:

.. code::

python -m build # build

this will replace the editable install done previously. If you don't want to replace,

switch your virtual environments to test the new install separately.

pip install .[tests] # install test dependencies pytest # Run the tests

Pre-commit setup

pre-commit is a multi-language package manager for pre-commit hooks.

To install pre-commit into your git hooks, run this command:

.. code::

pre-commit install

pre-commit then runs on every commit. Each time you clone a project, installing pre-commit should always be the first action that you take.

If you want to manually run all pre-commit hooks on a repository, run this command:

.. code::

pre-commit run --all-files

A bunch of formatters run on your source files.

To run individual hooks, use this command, where <hook_id> is obtained from from the .pre-commit-config.yaml file:

.. code::

pre-commit run

The first time pre-commit runs on a file, it automatically downloads, installs, and runs the hook.

Local GitHub actions

Simulating GitHub Actions on your local desktop is recommended. After installing the act <https://github.com/nektos/act#readme>_ package, you can run a job. For example, this command runs the docs job defined in the ci_cd.yml file:

.. code::

act -j docs

Deploy and upload steps must always be ignored. If they are not ignored, before running a job, add if: ${{ !env.ACT }} to the workflow step (and commit if required).

Usage

You can use this code to start the simplest PyEnSight session:

.. code:: python

from ansys.pyensight.core import LocalLauncher session = LocalLauncher().start() data = session.render(1920, 1080, aa=4) with open("image.png", "wb") as f: ... f.write(data)

Optionally, EnSight can work with an EnSight Docker container using code like this:

.. code:: python

from ansys.pyensight.core import DockerLauncher launcher = DockerLauncher(data_directory="d:/data", use_dev=True) launcher.pull() session = launcher.start() data = session.render(1920, 1080, aa=4) with open("image.png", "wb") as f: ... f.write(data)

In the preceding code, the data_directory argument specifies the host directory to map into the container at the mount point, providing access to the data within the container. This provides a method for EnSight running in the container to access the host's file system to read or write data. The optional use_dev=True argument specifies that the latest development version of EnSight should be used.

Also, PyEnSight can be launched as other PyAnsys products with the launch_ensight method:

.. code:: python

from ansys.pyensight.core import launch_ensight session = launch_ensight(use_sos=3) data = session.render(1920, 1080, aa=4) with open("image.png", "wb") as f: ... f.write(data)

Dependencies

You will need a locally installed and licensed copy of Ansys to run EnSight, with the first supported version being Ansys 2022 R2.
