PyAnsys: How to enforce SpaceClaim 2025R2

Vinod Pichamuthu

By Default, It is using 2025R1, But I need to execute it using 2025R2.

import ansys.geometry.core as pygeometry
import os

# 1. Launch the modeler
# You need a local installation of Ansys SpaceClaim or Discovery for this to work
modeler = pygeometry.launch_modeler()

# 2. Define the path to your .scdocx file
# Ensure you use the absolute path, potentially as a raw string (r"...")
file_path = r"C:\Users\118300.GARRETTMOTION\OneDrive - Garrett Advancing Motion\My Files\1. Projects\1. CHT Tool\2. Hsg\Inputs\Geometry\Two Stage\907122-0100 full open top assy.scdoc"

# 3. Open the file
design = modeler.open_file(file_path=file_path)

# You can now work with the 'design' object
print(f"Successfully loaded design with bodies: {[body.name for body in design.bodies]}")

from ansys.geometry.core import launch_modeler_with_spaceclaim

# Using the launcher handles transport_mode automatically
modeler = launch_modeler_with_spaceclaim()

design = modeler.open_file(file_path=r"C:\Users\118300.GARRETTMOTION\Downloads\ZEV Mech\Sreenadh\M252_ASMNEW2.scdocx")

Hi @Vinod Pichamuthu - thanks for reaching out.

Specifying the Ansys version of your product you want to run on is doable via the launch_modeler* methods. There is an input argument call version.

In your specific case, I see you are using the SpaceClaim launcher as well. See The launcher.py module — PyAnsys Geometry —> and specifically the launch_modeler_with_spaceclaim API

The version argument expects a string or an integer that follows the Ansys release convention (242, 251, 252…). In your case, the call would look as follows

modeler = launch_modeler_with_spaceclaim(version=252)

Let us know if that works for you!
