This section explains how to use pyansys-tools-report and its features.

Using PyAnsys Tools Report#

Once the pyansys-tools-report package is installed in your own personal environment (if not, please proceed to Getting started), you can start importing the package and using it.

In order to import the package, please run:

import ansys.tools.report as pyansys_report

The pyansys-tools-report contains a main class called Report. This class is basically an extension of the scooby.Report, but customized for showing Ansys libraries and variables in a common format.

The possible arguments that the Report class accepts can be found in the API reference. PLease, have a look at it to understand the arguments you may use. A simple example of Ansys variables and libraries is shown below.

# After defining my_ansys_libs and my_ansys_vars with the needed format (see API Reference)
# we can start the instantiation of the report
#
# Instantiate a Report object
rep = report.Report(ansys_libs=my_ansys_libs, ansys_vars=my_ansys_vars)

# For printing the report
rep

The typical output of a Report would look as follows:
