Ansys Data Processing Framework (DPF) provides reusable operators that allow you to access and transform simulation data coming from different Ansys and third-party result files. These operators are computation libraries that can be extended with custom libraries.
You have multiple options for interfacing with DPF:
DPF as a development framework allows you to extend its capabilities by exposing your product capabilities as native operators. You can use these custom operators within Mechanical or other Ansys applications that support DPF. Plus, you can access these operators remotely via gRPC from Python/C#/C++ client APIs, without having to learn gRPC or any of these languages.
DPF libraries are available for Windows and Linux in:
Use PyDPF-Core, which provides the same functionality as the DPF C++ client library, to connect to and interact with DPF.
Build your Python client to connect with DPF and leverage its post-simulation analysis and computation capabilities.
Build your Python client to connect with DPF and leverage its post-simulation analysis and computation capabilities on layered and short-fiber composite models.
DPF can process simulation data from the following Ansys products through APIs:
