Displaying values from a python code object on the geometry
I have a result I've calculated on a set of nodes in a python code object. I'm aware that there's a way to set the contour using dpf, but as I need individual node positions and a custom function to calculate my result, I'd rather use my existing values rather than figure out how to do it all again using dpf. Is there a…

DPF Crashes Workbench with large result files
I've noticed an issue when using DPF with large result files in my ACT scripts (currently using version 2023R2), essentially whenever the result file gets large enough (25+GB) all of my post processing scripts crash workbench a few seconds after starting to run. I reduced the size of mesh and resolved to get a smaller…
Multi-threading with DPF post evaluations In Mechanical
Hi all, Has anybody experimented with using the iron python threading module to start an async thread that does DPF post calculations? Use case is this could be called immediately after the solve is done since the results file is available. Users can still interact with Mechanical since the call after the solve is simply…

Ansys pyDPF Logical statements
Hi, I am new to the world of PyDPF and was wondering if there was an if statement or something equivalent as a operator in PyDPF. I'm looking to compare stresses on a node by node basis against a critical value and if the stress at the node exceeds a value I would like to set that value to 0. I noticed that there was an…

How to see which ACT Extensions are loaded with Workbench Journaling
Is there a way to check if a particular extension is already loaded (in 2023 R2)? I have tried to do a try: except catch with Extensions.LoadExtensions but that isn't working for some reason: try: Extensions.LoadExtension( Id="04a2fd24-d76b-45c8-8553-be985906c975", Version="232.12", Format="Scripted" )except Exception as…
Increasing Speed of DPF in Extensions
I am looking into using DPF to drive the results in extensions instead of using the legacy results reader. While DPF is much faster than the legacy reader for getting things like nodal von mises stress, I am finding that the extensions performance is still substantially worse than the hard coded von-mises available in…
