Can I interact with SpaceClaim or Ansys Discovery from outside the application ?

Hello there. I want to interact with either SpaceClaim or Discovery programmatically, create geometries, and save files, without interacting with the software's UI.

Very similar to the Pyfluent library to interact with Ansys Fluent with a Python script.

How can it be done?

The best alternative I found was doing it with a terminal script. Like https://discuss.ansys.com/discussion/2362/how-do-i-run-discovery-in-batch#latest

Hey there! I recommend you to use PyAnsys Geometry. This is the PyAnsys library that will allow you to interact with SpaceClaim or Discovery outside the product.
