Desktop Commands For Registry Values

The Ansys Registry is stored as XML format file. By default it is located at C:\Users\<UserName>\Documents\Ansoft\<AnsysProductNameversion>\config\<PC_NAME>_user.XML. Most of the Ansys product configuration information is stored in this XML file. These methods allow you to change the product configuration.

For example, to set the DSO & HPC analysis setup for HFSS using a Python script:

1. Start HFSS.
2. Go to the DSO and HPC options and create a setup named "test".
3. Export the setup to a file (for example, c:\temp\test.acf).
4. Copy the exported file to a target PC (for example, f:\temp\test.acf).
5. Run the following script:

   #import the setup

   oDesktop.SetRegistryFromFile("f:\\temp\\test.acf")

   # Set Active Setup to "test"

   oDesktop.SetRegistryString("Desktop/ActiveDSOConfigurations/HFSS", "test")
