DPF in Mechanical for topology optimization

Hi everyone,

I would like to ask if there is a way to access displacement results from topology optimization in Ansys Mechanical using Python (assuming hdf5 file result).

I am able to retrieve the displacement results successfully when working with standalone PyDPF, but I have not been able to achieve the same within Mechanical.

Standalone PyDPF approach (works):

from ansys.dpf import core as dpf
model = dpf.Model("Static24.h5")
disp_fc = model.results.displacement().eval()
disp_field = disp_fc[0]

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi @Martin Cernak , I would say if it works in PyDPF it should work in MechDPF. Do you get an error message in MechDPF ?

@Ayush Kumar , are you aware of something about this topic ?

@Martin Cernak, ideally, it would work in Mechanical as well but it is possible that there is a bug in the IronPython API, please report via Technical Support, so a Tech Support Engineer can log a Bug if reproducible.

You can share you Mechanical DPF code here as well, so we can review any syntax issues.
