Hi, I am trying to reproduce the results as provided in PyAnsys Geometry 101: Modeling (https://geometry.docs.pyansys.com/version/stable/examples/01_getting_started/04_modeling.html). When I execute the first line, I am getting following error.
Hi @Suneel - you are completely right. We identified this issue some weeks ago and it has been resolved (for future releases). See: https://github.com/ansys/pyansys-geometry/commit/7d47fda9a73bb696d72bd1a0cd4ccab33399e7f6
We are planning on doing a new release soon that will get your problem fixed! Stay tuned.
In the meantime, please adapt your code as follows:
modeler = launch_modeler("spaceclaim")
OR
modeler = launch_modeler(mode="spaceclaim")
FYI - you can also run SpaceClaim in hidden mode by running
modeler = launch_modeler(mode="spaceclaim", hidden=True)
That way you can run SpaceClaim in headless mode and completely delegate the visualization to PyVista (in case you are interested)
Hi @Suneel!
Quick question, do you have any of the Ansys CAD products installed? That would be:
Also, could you let me know what version of PyAnsys Geometry are you using? You can easily get this value by running the following:
pip show ansys-geometry-core
Hi RobPasMue, Yes, I have Ansys CAD product installed. I am using Ansys 2024 R1, contains spaceClaim.
The version of PyAnsys Geometry is 0.4.11
Regards, Suneel
Thank you for quick reply. It is opening the spaceClaim in standalone mode and building the geometry as per command. It is not showing anything wrt sketch command but subsequent commands it is updating in spaceClaim as well as PyVista.
Hi @Suneel - great that you got it working!
The PyAnsys Geometry sketching API is purely client side. Meaning that it will not reflect anything on SpaceClaim. So that behavior is intended.
Ok Got it, Thanks for resolving my doubt. It solved my present problem.

I have tried the various solutions you have provided, and so far I am still having the problem on the post, is it caused by incompatibility of the version I am using, I am using ansys2023r1, pyAnsysGeomertry version 0.6.0.
