This section lists the core AEDT Modeler modules available in HFSS 3D Layout:

• Modeler

• Primitives

• Objects

They are accessible through the modeler module and modeler.objects property:

from ansys.aedt.core import Hfss3dLayout
hfss = Hfss3dLayout()
my_modeler = hfss.modeler

...

Modeler

The Modeler module contains all properties and methods needed to edit a modeler, including all primitives methods and properties:
