Tip

Forth- and back-compatibility mechanism

Starting on version 0.5.X and onward, PyAnsys Geometry has implemented a forth- and back-compatibility mechanism to ensure that the Python library can be used with different versions of the Ansys products.

Methods are now decorated with the @min_backend_version decorator to indicate the compatibility with the Ansys product versions. If an unsupported method is called, a GeometryRuntimeError is raised when attempting to use the method. Users are informed of the minimum Ansys product version required to use the method.

Access to the documentation for the preceding versions is found at the Versions page.
