I am trying to get started with the ansys_example.py

If I try to run the line pynumad.Blade() I get the: AttributeError: module 'pynumad' has no attribute 'Blade'

dir(pynumad) returns: ['doc', 'file', 'loader', 'name', 'package', 'path', 'spec']

I have a virtual environment I pip install pynumad to that venv I activate the venv. I start python 

import pynumad
pynumad.Blade()

Windows 11, trying both from the cmd prompt and Spyder, python3.11

Any ideas if I am missing something (the lack of () was not the issue)

Only noticed this issue today @mcMunich. Sounds like you were able to address the problem. If it isn't much trouble, mentioning how it got resolved in this thread might help future users.

I would like to help. In my case, there were multiple pynumad installations and either the wrong one or a wrong link was causing the issue. I had to clean up my directories (that is what the virtual env should help with) to get over this issue.

Thanks for the update. Virtual environments are definitely the way to go. We should add some recommendations in our installation docs so that others know to use them.
