I am attempting to use PyPrimeMesh for the first time and I am getting errors loading CAD files. I am using the ANSYS Python Manager to setup environment. Using Python 3.10.11 with the 2024.2.4 PyAnsys metapackage. Windows 10 with 2024R2 installed.
import ansys.meshing.prime as prime
with prime.launch_prime() as prime_client:
model = prime_client.model
# Download and read an example Spaceclaim file
mixing_elbow = prime.examples.download_elbow_scdoc()
params = prime.ImportCadParams(
model=model, cad_reader_route=prime.CadReaderRoute.SPACECLAIM
)
prime.FileIO(model).import_cad(file_name=mixing_elbow, params=params)
Generates error:
