Referencing scriptable extension using the command

Josef Behal

Hi,

I would like to reference the script extension using the command. Is it possible to add specific extension directory path?

I would like to than load the extension using Extension.LoadExtension…

ScriptedExtensionLocation = r'C:\Users\lmkanner\Downloads\lin_stress_src\src'

ExtId = "0A0459A2-03BE-4F49-973C-A5459F65E58B".ToLower()

CurrentLocations = GetPreferenceValue('ACT_AdditionalExtensionsFolders')

UpdatedLocations = ScriptedExtensionLocation+';'+CurrentLocations

SetPreference('ACT_AdditionalExtensionsFolders', UpdatedLocations)

CleanProject()

Extensions.LoadExtension(Id=ExtId,Format="Scripted")

Preference IDs can usually be found here:
{ANSYS Installation folder}\commonfiles\registry\winx64
In this example, ACT_AdditionalExtensionsFolders can be found in ACTPrefernces.xml in the above folder location.

@AKD-Scripting-Team I think someone from this group would know the answer, Josef.
