3D modeler

This section lists the core AEDT Modeler modules with 3D solvers (HFSS, Maxwell, Icepak, Q3D, and Mechanical):

• Modeler

• Primitives

• Objects

They are accessible through the modeler property:

from ansys.aedt.core import Hfss
app = Hfss(specified_version="2023.1",
             non_graphical=False, new_desktop_session=True,
             close_on_exit=True, student_version=False)

# This call return the Modeler3D class
modeler = app.modeler

# This call returns a Primitives3D object
primitives = modeler

# This call return an Object3d object
my_box = primitives.create_box([0,0,0],[10,10,10])
my_box = primitives.objects[my_box.id]

# This call return a FacePrimitive object list
my_box.faces
# This call returns an EdgePrimitive object list
my_box.edges
my_box.faces[0].edges

# This call returns a VertexPrimitive object list
my_box.vertices
my_box.faces[0].vertices
my_box.faces[0].edges[0].vertices

...

Modeler

The Modeler module contains all properties and methods needed to edit a modeler, including all primitives methods and properties for HFSS, Maxwell 3D, Q3D Extractor, and Icepak:

modeler_3d.Modeler3D

Provides the Modeler 3D application interface.

from ansys.aedt.core import Circuit
app = Hfss(specified_version="2023.1",
             non_graphical=False, new_desktop_session=True,
             close_on_exit=True, student_version=False)

# This call returns the NexximComponents class
origin = [0,0,0]
sizes = [10,5,20]
#Material and name are not mandatory fields
box_object = app.modeler.primivites.create_box(origin, sizes, name="mybox", material="copper")
