Python compatibility with CFx

jmex · December 5, 2019, 06:05

Hello experts,

I have basic understanding of python 3.x version. I am looking for re-meshing technique for my problem. Is python 3.x version compatible to program? Or should i work with 2.x version.

Little confused here to start my work on the version of file.
Kindly suggest,
Thanks,

CFX and ANSYS does not support python. At least not directly - CFX can be driven by the command line and you can send command line commands through python if you like. Alternately, I frequently use python to generate a batch, script or session text file to run CFX. But that is about all you can do.

Okay thanks for your reply ghorrocks. I believe python version doesn't matter then, as python will execute changes in the file outside cfx and then cfx will run the file as per changes made.
