Ansys Prime Mesh for developers

Overview

Ansys Prime Mesh provides core Ansys meshing technology that can be used to build meshes of different types for various physics simulations.  

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  

Ansys Prime Mesh Python client library is a forked and packaged version of the open-source PyPrimeMesh project that is included in the standard Ansys installation in Ansys 2024 R1 SP1 and later. It is intended for use by other Ansys products to execute Python workflows when a Python environment is not available. The Python clients allow developers to use the Ansys Prime Server to retrieve geometries and prepare surface and volume meshes for multiple solvers.  

OS and supported languages

Prime Mesh libraries are available for Windows and Linux in:
