PyAEDT (Beta)
PyAEDT is a Python library that interacts with the Electronics Desktop API to make scripting simpler for the end user.
It supports:
- All 3D products (HFSS, Icepak, Maxwell 3D, and Q3D Extractor)
- 2D tools
- Ansys IcepakFEA
- EMIT
- Circuit Nexxim
- Twin Builder
- Layout tools (HFSS 3D Layout and EDB)
Additionally, it enables the end user to have a CPython interface with AEDT. Its class and method structures simplify operation for the end user, enabling more Pythonic code while reusing information as much as possible across the various APIs.
