Launch a local session#
If Ansys 2023 R2 or later and PyAnsys Geometry are installed, you can create a local backend session using Discovery, SpaceClaim, or the Geometry service. Once the backend is running, PyAnsys Geometry can manage the connection.
To launch and establish a connection to the service, open Python and use the following commands for either Discovery, SpaceClaim, or the Geometry service.
from ansys.geometry.core import launch_modeler_with_discovery
modeler = launch_modeler_with_discovery()
from ansys.geometry.core import launch_modeler_with_spaceclaim
modeler = launch_modeler_with_spaceclaim()
from ansys.geometry.core import launch_modeler_with_geometry_service
modeler = launch_modeler_with_geometry_service()
For more information on the arguments accepted by the launcher methods, see their API documentation:
Note
Because this is the first release of the Geometry service, you cannot yet define a product version or API version.
