How to get Faces Aligned with a Direction and Located at the "Top" of the Body
This example is how to get faces aligned with a direction and also located on the "top" of the body in that direction. You can see the type of faces in the image, aligned with the Z Direction. Notice one of the 3 blocks does not have a face selected because it it not oriented in line with the Z axis. This is useful often…
Scripting surfaces in SpaceClaim 2023 R2 getting slow
Hello, I wrote a script for creating a geometry of beams and surfaces in space claim 2021 R1. Now I'm testing it in 2023 R2 and I am getting several problems: -The script is 10x slower and it seems that the surfaces are the problem. -sometimes lines are not solidified and are not converted into beams, it seems to happen…
Helix around a curve. For example half circle.
Hi everyone. I am running a project for a CFD simulation of fluid flow inside an internally helical ribbed tube ( Rifled technology - tube) of a compact heat exchanger, where the tube would be bent 180 degrees. I know how to draw a helix twisted a long straight curve using SpaceClaim. But how can I sweep a helical surface…

Referencing SpaceClaim dlls
Hi, I have created several ACT functionalities in SpaceClaim ANSYS 2020R2 which I'm transfering to 2023R1. I have tried to use the following code snippet in both versions: _import clr clr.AddReference("SpaceClaim.Api.V20.Scripting.dll") import SpaceClaim.Api.V20.Scripting as SCv20_Scripting rootPart =…
Script doesn't work while inside ACT Extension
I'm trying to create a Workbench Mixed Wizard, to analyze a simple cantilever beam. I managed to make the geometry generation script to work for any SpaceClaim instance I open as standalone. Although, when it's part of a step of a Wizard, I get the following error: I feel like I should import the SpaceClaim scripting…
How to modify the color property of beams and surfaces from script
Hello, I'm using SpaceClaim 2021 R1 with python interpreter V19 I need to change the color property of beams and surfaces, in particular beams, but I couldn't find a way. I tried recording the operation to get the snippet code but, when I change the color, it doesn't record anything. I hope someone have already found out a…
Can I interact with SpaceClaim or Ansys Discovery from outside the application ?
Hello there. I want to interact with either SpaceClaim or Discovery programmatically, create geometries, and save files, without interacting with the software's UI. Very similar to the Pyfluent library to interact with Ansys Fluent with a Python script. How can it be done?
Cyclic Symmetry with Multiple Cyclic Index (Angles)
Hi, it would be appreciated, if any one can clarify for the below query. 1) Can we use different sector angles for each component of an Assembly in cyclic symmetry analysis? For example, we are providing 36 (1/10th) degrees of sector angle to Component A and 72 (1/5th) degrees to Component B of sector angle in the…
