This section explains how to use PyConceptEV.

Get a token using AnsysID

Get a token by creating a MSAL (Microsoft Authentication Library) app to communicate with the AnsysID system. Use this app to create a token. The token is cached within a file called token_cache.bin.

from ansys.pyconcceptev.core import auth

app = auth.create_msal_app()
token = auth.get_ansyId_token(app)

Create a client

Create a client that can access and talk to the Ansys ConceptEV API. You can use the health check endpoint to check your connection.

import ansys.conceptev.core.main as pyconceptev

with pyconceptev.get_http_client(token, concept_id) as client:
    health = get(client, "/health")
    print(health)

Update configuration

Update the configuration of the client by using the config.toml the defaults are located in src/ansys/conceptev/core/resources/config.toml. Create a new config.toml file in your working directory with the account_name set or create an environment variable called ACCOUNT_NAME and the settings management should find it. Most things can be left as default but the account_name should be changed to match your company account name.
