🐞 Description of the bug

In the GUI, this works: pressure = analysis.AddPressure() pressure.Location = ExtAPI.DataModel.GetObjectsByName("NSInsideFaces")[0] pressure.Magnitude.Inputs[0].DiscreteValues = [Quantity("0 [s]"), Quantity("1 [s]")] pressure.Magnitude.Output.DiscreteValues = [Quantity("0 [Pa]"), Quantity("15 [MPa]")]

But in embedded mode, the following error message is returned:

Same root cause as #93.

pmaroneh commented 1 year ago

I'm sorry if I'm missing the obvious here or did a mistake but I can't make the workaround work in this situation:

pressure = analysis.AddPressure()
pressure.Location = ExtAPI.DataModel.GetObjectsByName("NSInsideFaces")[0]
inputs_quantities = [Quantity("0 [s]"), Quantity("1 [s]")]  
inputs_quantities_2 = System.Collections.Generic.List[System.Int32]()
[inputs_quantities_2.Add(item) for item in inputs_quantities]

returns: What's weird is that dir(input_quantities_2) does have a .Add() method: But maybe the issue here is that I'm trying to deal with quantities (so value + unit) and not just some standard items in a standard list?

pmaroneh commented 1 year ago

Realized I was missing the obvious. Type of list needs to be adapted, as follows:


pressure.Location = ExtAPI.DataModel.GetObjectsByName("NSInsideFaces")[0]

inputs_quantities = [Quantity("0 [s]"), Quantity("1 [s]")]  
output_quantities = [Quantity("0 [Pa]"), Quantity("15 [MPa]")]  

inputs_quantities_2 = System.Collections.Generic.List[Ansys.Core.Units.Quantity]()
[inputs_quantities_2.Add(item) for item in inputs_quantities]

output_quantities_2 = System.Collections.Generic.List[Ansys.Core.Units.Quantity]()
[output_quantities_2.Add(item) for item in output_quantities]

pressure.Magnitude.Inputs[0].DiscreteValues = inputs_quantities_2
pressure.Magnitude.Output.DiscreteValues = output_quantities_2```

This is resolved in 0.7.dev3.
