How do I export pictures for multiple design points?
I am running a simulation for which I create figures for various results. I want to export them for each design point. How can I do this?

Here's a sample code to use in a Python Code object. For this to work, you will have to use version 23.1 and above as picture export in batch mode did not work in earlier versions.
Small bonus: you'll see how to retrieve the design point number and the user_files folder without the need for executing a script at project page level.

Hello @Pierre Thieffry ,
thank you for the post, it is really helpful!
I am trying to do some modifications on the legend text, to increase it.
I've tried something like this based on the documentation which I found on the web, but it is not working:
ExtAPI.Graphics.ExportImage(filename, GraphicsImageExportFormat('png'), GraphicsImageExportSettings.FontMagnification(1.3))
Can you help me please with this ?

Figures in this example mean static generated images and not the dynamic Ansys plots. .AddFigure() will add the figure below any selected result.
I have an adaptation that will generate the image if it doesn't already exist and write that image to file:
