Stand-alone Usage and Scripting
The APIs can also be used independently, without integrating with any CAD software. Users have the freedom to execute topology building and meshing commands individually or bundle them together in a file as a batch script or a shell script. Python scripting provides a convenient way to write and execute these scripts, offering a versatile and efficient automation solution.
Scripts
can be created with different objectives in mind. Frequently used
sets of commands can be bundled together and used as macros,
streamlining repetitive tasks. On the other hand, the entire meshing
process can be scripted to operate in a non-interactive design
environment, maximizing efficiency.
Scripts
prove invaluable when working with similar geometries, conducting
grid convergence studies, or simulating unsteady phenomena with
time-dependent geometric transformations. By leveraging the
capabilities of scripting, users can effortlessly process complex
geometries, generate sequential grids, and explore various design
variations in an automated manner.
