Is your scripting up to scratch? Results & Highlights!

James Derrick | 09.24.2025

Back at the beginning of June we put a call out for any tips and tricks for using PyAnsys our customers, partners, and users had to share on the forum and on LinkedIn. 

In response we received two standout entries!

First up was some really interesting work by Tuan Manh Nguyen.

I developed an interactive result viewer using PyDPF to convert .rst files into shareable 3D HTML plots.

Why it’s useful:
It allows engineers to explore displacement and Von Mises stress results directly in the browser — perfect for easy collaboration with clients and teammates without needing full Ansys access.

Demo: Linkedin post

Next was work by CADFEM's Naveen Kumar Begari, in which he shared three things he has worked on including wrapping PyAnsys libraries (PyMechanical in particular) using FastAPI to produce RESTful APIs he can work with; webapps he can discuss in oblique terms due to confidentiality; and a new series of blog posts on PyAnsys you should go check out if you have time.

As of now;
A powerful technique I use is integrating PyMechanical with FastAPI to run Ansys simulations on demand through REST APIs. Triggering mechanical.run_python_script() from a FastAPI endpoint allows me to execute simulations and stream results to the front end in real time.

Why it was so useful.?
This approach helps me debug and validate simulations interactively before moving to batch mode, making the entire workflow more efficient and reliable :)

I’ve built scalable Web Apps(confidential) on different physics & modules that let users simulate, visualize results (using Dash Plotly or PyVista), and even download them - all locally.

Deploying Apps the Funny Way - with PyFluent, of Course! :)

Our PyAnsys blog series is about to go live on the forum: BLOGS

Thank you to both of these contributors! We hope they'll both become regular visitors to the developer forum and next time maybe it will be you being featured on our front page! You can check out the original post if you'd like to submit your own entries here: "Is your scripting up to scratch?". Otherwise, do be on the lookout for more community-engaging posts; we love it whenever you get involved and get scripting.
