How do I do "Reload Extensions" via script

Mike.Thompson

What is the API that is identical to clicking the "Reload Extensions" button? Also, is there a way to only reload a specific extension?

The Project Page has the methods:

Extensions.ReloadAllExtensions()
Extensions.ReloadOneExtension("Extension's InternalName")

Combining with this post https://discuss.ansys.com/discussion/2478/how-do-i-communicate-with-the-project-page-from-within-mechanical , you should be able to do something like:

import System
from System.Threading import *

def RunWBJN(cmds):
    def Internal_RunWBJN():
        import wbjn
        wbjn.ExecuteCommand(ExtAPI,cmds)
    thread = System.Threading.Thread(System.Threading.ThreadStart(Internal_RunWBJN))
    thread.Start()

project_cmds = '''
Extensions.ReloadAllExtensions()
'''
RunWBJN(project_cmds)

I have not tested it.

@Landon Mitchell Kanner , How about in Mechanical stand alone?
