Create Scenes and Animation using pyVista

[sujal-tipnis]

Can @ajain-work help with creating a scene object and a subsequent scene animation using PyVista? Is this something that is currently available or would have to be included as an enhancement?

I used the following scripts to create meshes, iso-surfaces, contours and vectors:

import ansys.fluent.core as pyfluent
from ansys.fluent.post.pyvista import Graphics

s = pyfluent.launch_fluent(precision="double", processor_count=4)
root = s.get_settings_root()
s.tui.solver.file.read_case(case_file_name="manifold_solution.cas.h5")
s.tui.solver.file.read_data(case_file_name="manifold_solution.dat.h5")

# Get the graphics object for mesh display
gs_1 = Graphics(s)

# Create a graphics object for mesh display
mesh1 = gs_1.Meshes["mesh-1"]

# Show edges and faces
mesh1.show_edges = True
mesh1.show_faces = True

# Get the surfaces list
mesh1.surfaces_list = ['in1','in2','in3','out1','solid_up:1', 'solid_up:1:830','solid_up:1:830-shadow']
mesh1.display("window-1")

# Disable edges and display again
mesh1.show_edges = False
mesh1.display("window-2")

# Create iso-surface on the outlet plane

surf_outlet_plane = gs_1.Surfaces["outlet-plane"]
surf_outlet_plane.surface.type = "iso-surface"
iso_surf1 = surf_outlet_plane.surface.iso_surface
iso_surf1.field = 'y-coordinate'
iso_surf1.iso_value = -0.125017
surf_outlet_plane.display("window-3")

# Create iso-surface on the mid-plane (Issue # 276)

surf_mid_plane_x = gs_1.Surfaces["mid-plane-x"]
surf_mid_plane_x.surface.type = "iso-surface"
iso_surf2 = surf_mid_plane_x.surface.iso_surface
iso_surf2.field = 'x-coordinate'
iso_surf2.iso_value = -0.174
surf_mid_plane_x.display("window-4")

# Temperature contour on the mid-plane and the outlet
local_surfaces_provider = Graphics(session=None).Surfaces
contour_temp = gs_1.Contours["contour-temperature"]
contour_temp.field = "temperature"
contour_temp.surfaces_list = ['mid-plane-x','outlet-plane']
contour_temp.display("window-4")

# Create Iso-Clip (Unavailable: Issue # 278)
surf_clip_z_inner = gs_1.Surfaces["clip-z-inner"]
surf_clip_z_inner.surface.type.allowed-values

# Contour of the Manifold Temperature
contour_temp_manifold = gs_1.Contours["contour-temperature-manifold"]
contour_temp_manifold.field = "temperature"
contour_temp_manifold.surfaces_list = ['in1','in2','in3','out1','solid_up:1', 'solid_up:1:830']
contour_temp_manifold.display("window-5")

# Vector on the mid-plane (Currently using outlet-plane since mid-plane is affected by Issue # 276)

velocity_vector = gs_1.Vectors["velocity-vector"]
velocity_vector.surfaces_list = ['outlet-plane']
velocity_vector.scale = 1
velocity_vector.display("window-6")

Can we create scenes and animation using the above objects and as per the steps outlined in this tutorial?
