Mechanical Feature Creation

In addition to supporting the common feature creation capabilities described in the Ansys ACT Developer's Guide, Mechanical supports product-specific feature creation capabilities:

UI Customization in Mechanical
ACT-Based Property Parametrization in Mechanical
Preprocessing Capabilities in Mechanical
Postprocessing Capabilities in Mechanical
Third-Party Solver Connections in Mechanical
Additional Methods and Callbacks

Note:

All extensions referenced in this section are supplied. Mechanical requires BMP files for the images to display as toolbar buttons, while all other supported Ansys products require PNG files.
The callbacks <onstarteval> and <getvalue> have been replaced by the single callback <evaluate>. The callback <evaluate> simplifies the implementation of an ACT result, which now requires only a single IronPython function. While the callbacks <onstarteval> and <getvalue> are still supported, using the callback <evaluate> is recommended.
