- Parameters:
- project
str,optional Name of the project to select or the full path to the project or AEDTZ archive to open. The default is
None, in which case an attempt is made to get an active project. If no projects are present, an empty project is created.- design
str,optional Name of the design to select. The default is
None, in which case an attempt is made to get an active design. If no designs are present, an empty design is created.- solution_type
str,optional Solution type to apply to the design. The default is
None, in which case the default type is applied.- setup
str,optional Name of the setup to use as the nominal. The default is
None, in which case the active setup is used or nothing is used.- version
str,int,float,optional Version of AEDT to use. The default is
None, in which case the active version or latest installed version is used. This parameter is ignored when Script is launched within AEDT. Examples of input values are232,23.2,``2023.2``,``”2023.2”``.- non_graphicalbool,
optional Whether to launch AEDT in non-graphical mode. The default is

False.- student_versionbool,
optional Whether to open the AEDT student version. The default is
False. This parameter is ignored when a script is launched within AEDT.- machine
str,optional Machine name to connect the oDesktop session to. This works only in 2022 R2 and later. The remote server must be up and running with the command “ansysedt.exe -grpcsrv portnum”. If the machine is “localhost”, the server also starts if not present.
- port
int,optional Port number on which to start the oDesktop communication on an already existing server. This parameter is ignored when a new server is created. It works only in 2022 R2 and later. The remote server must be up and running with the command “ansysedt.exe -grpcsrv portnum”.
