Generic
=======

PyAEDT has some generic features.


File utils
~~~~~~~~~~

The following methods allows to read and parse files.

   :nosignatures:

   normalize_path
   get_filename_without_extension
   check_and_download_file
   check_if_path_exists
   check_and_download_folder
   generate_unique_name
   generate_unique_folder_name

   read_json
   read_toml
   read_csv
   read_csv_pandas
   write_csv
   read_tab

   get_dxf_layers
   read_component_file
   parse_excitation_file
   tech_to_control_file
   read_configuration_file
   write_configuration_file

Quaternion
~~~~~~~~~~

PyAEDT contains an implementation of fundamental quaternion operations.

Quaternions are only used to represent rotations in 3D space. They are not used to represent translations or other transformations.
Only methods related to rotations are implemented.

.. currentmodule:: ansys.aedt.core.generic.quaternion

.. autosummary::
   :toctree: _autosummary
   :nosignatures:

   Quaternion


Math utils
~~~~~~~~~~

MathUtils is a class that provides mathematical utility methods like numerical comparisons and checks.

.. currentmodule:: ansys.aedt.core.generic.math_utils

.. autosummary::
   :toctree: _autosummary
   :nosignatures:
