Miscellaneous
This page covers all Ansys products that don't fit neatly into a single product collection. For example, Ansys System Coupling couples multiple solvers in a single solution and fits reasonably well into structures, electronics, or fluids.

Dynamic Reporting
Ansys Dynamic Reporting (ADR) is the report-generation, analytics, and data-storage framework integrated into multiple Ansys products. It is a web-oriented collection of tools you use to bring all your data together in one place, organize it, and create compelling reports for yourself, your engineers, your colleagues, and your customers.
There are two primary ADR Python interfaces and PyDynamicReporting, a PyAnsys OSS library.
- EnSight Python Ansys Dynamic Reporting API
- This API integrates into the Ensight Python interpreter.
- External Python API
- This external Python API is provided by the Python interpreter included in the CEI/Ansys distributions. It can be used inside and outside the internal interpreter.

- PyPrimeMesh documentation (PyAnsys)
Developers can interface with Prime Mesh through two options using the Ansys Prime Server:
- The open-source Ansys PyPrimeMesh Python client to access the meshing APIs
- The Ansys Prime Mesh Python client library available in the Ansys installation
These two options have feature parity.
