If you are using an earlier version of ANSYS, send the design to ANSYS. If you are using ANSYS 13.0, click Update Parameters in the ANSYS group on the Prepare tab. It is helpful to rename the groups with a prefix that tells you the group's type, because named selections and driving dimensions are grouped together in the structure in ANSYS. If you are using ANSYS 13.0, the new group is automatically added to the Parameters group in Workbench. Information such as Selection, Alt+selection, move anchoring, axis, and ruler dimension is all stored with the group.

Thank you for the suggestions -Pierce Viewing 2 reply threads You must be logged in to reply to this topic. And yes, I have been using Material designer as well to do some fiber modeling.


You create a group from any set of selected objects. I actually discovered the code to directly read a CSV file with (x,y,z) coordinates into spaceclaim via the scripting tool. You can use the Selection panel to select objects in the same part that are similar or related to the object that is currently selected.Ĭlick Create Group in the Groups Sets of objects that appear in the Groups tab. Select the objects you want to include in the group. See Using groups to drive changes in ANSYS for information about using groups to make changes to the design in ANSYS. You can create named selections in the SpaceClaim Groups panel and then use these groups as named selections in ANSYS.

If you need to find the Ansys SpaceClaim API, then it is located in your Ansys SpaceClaim installation folder (somewhere along the lines of “C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\v212\scdm”).You are here: SpaceClaim add-ins > ANSYS add-in > Using named selections in ANSYS Included with that course are several workshops that go over various scripting aspects for selections, operations, groups, etc. If you have access to the ANSYS Learning Hub then I recommend taking the Ansys SpaceClaim Scripting course located here: Structures | Customization – Scripting in Ansys SpaceClaim (). Note that standard parametric CAD caveats apply with Block Recording i.e.: you have to be mindful of constraints and dependencies of upstream blocks as it is possible to invalidate operations by making changes that effectively remove a later block’s geometry in an earlier step. This is denoted by the “P” button next to applicable items within that block. Just like with script recording, you can promote certain entities within each block as Parameters for use in design studies.
