Hi @ all.

I´m new in SpaceClaim but i saw, its support scripting.
I tryed some scripts and it works well.

But I´d like to include some python modules like openpyxl, numpy. After I copyed it to ...ANSYS Studentv192scdmLibraryIronPythonLib

I got a strange error like

German: Das Objekt des Typs "Microsoft.Scripting.Runtime.Uninitialized" kann nicht in Typ "System.Exception" umgewandelt werden.
English:

Unable to cast object of type 'Microsoft.Scripting.Runtime.Uninitialized'

to type 'System.Exception'

Has anyone some ideas?

 

Thanks

Florian

Hello frussold,

External python modules cannot be currently added to the scripting database.

Hi, 

As you are new to SpaceClaim, request you to explore various tools in SpaceClaim like creating groups for parameters etc. Correct usage of different tools can avoid need of scripting. You can find many videos on SpaceClaim at following link

I´ve googled but i can´t find a way to load parameters via excel. It just works with groups and groups can´t be import in the script file.

Or someone has an idea. .csv is not a solution for me.

 

Thanks,

Florian

I´ve found a solution...it´s not perfect but i can work with it.

import clr
import sys

clr.AddReference("Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel")
import Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel as Excel
from System.Runtime.InteropServices import Marshal


class DoImport:
    def __init__(self):
        self.excel = Excel.ApplicationClass()
        self.workbook,self.worksheet = ""


    def open(self):
        self.excel.Visible = True
        
         self.FileName = self.excel.GetOpenFilename(
                    FileFilter = "Excel Files,*.xlsx",
                    FilterIndex = 1,
                    Title = "Open Import File",
                    MultiSelect = False)

        if self.FileName != False:
            self.workbook = self.excel.Workbooks.Open(self.FileName)
            self.excel.Visible = False
        else:
            self.excel.DisplayAlerts = False
            Marshal.ReleaseComObject(self.excel)
            MessageBox.Show("Script abort - please restart")
            sys.exit()

    def get_xlsx_data(self):
        a = []
        for i in range(self.workbook.Worksheets.Count):
            i = i + 1
            a.append(self.workbook.Worksheets.Name)
            if a == "ScriptData":
                self.worksheet = self.workbook.Worksheets

        data = {}

        for row in range(self.worksheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count):
            datalist = []
            for columns in range(self.worksheet.UsedRange.Columns.Count):
               datalist.append(self.worksheet.Cells[row + 1, columns + 1].Text)
            f = self.worksheet.Cells[row + 1, 1].Value2
            data[f] = datalist

        self.workbook.Close()
        self.excel.Quit()
        Marshal.ReleaseComObject(self.workbook)
        Marshal.ReleaseComObject(self.worksheet)
        Marshal.ReleaseComObject(self.excel)

        return data

if __name__ == "__main__":
    x = DoImport()
    x.open()
    data = x.get_xlsx_data()
    print data

copy the *.py file into ..scdmLibraryIronPythonLib

in SpaceClaim you can do this

import import_xlsx

load = import_xlsx.DoImport()
load.open()
import_data = load.get_xlsx_data()

please add...i found some errors, sry

clr.AddReference("System.Windows.Forms")
from System.Windows.Forms import MessageBox

Hi all,

 

I am trying to automate a process in spaceclaim. My goal is to import an STL file, extrude it and save it as STEP file. I could record the script in the spaceclaim software and it works perfectly fine. I would like to run the script directly from the command terminal without manually opening the software. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you very much.

 

Regards,
Prabhu.
