API reference

Motor-CAD API

The MotorCAD object is used by default for PyMotorCAD scripting. For descriptions of this object’s single class and its many methods, see MotorCAD API.

Motor-CAD compatibility API

The MotorCADCompatibility object is used for running old ActiveX scripts. For information on backwards compatibility, see Backwards compatibility with old scripts. For descriptions of this object, its single class, and its many methods, see MotorCADCompatibility API.

Note

In addition to giving the available methods, their replacement functions have been commented.

Geometry objects and functions

The ansys.motorcad.core.geometry library contains geometry objects and functions that provide geometry capability in Python. Geometry objects and functions are used for defining and modifying Adaptive Templates geometries in Python. For descriptions of the objects and functions, see Geometry objects and functions.

Geometry drawing

The ansys.motorcad.core.geometry_drawing library contains functions for drawing geometry objects as static visualisations in Python. Geometry drawing is used for plotting objects such as regions, lines, arcs and coordinates within the x-y plane. Drawing Motor-CAD geometry objects can make it easier to test and create Adaptive Templates scripts. For descriptions of the geometry drawing functions, see Geometry drawing.

Geometry shapes

The ansys.motorcad.core.geometry_shapes library contains geometry functions that provide geometry calculations in Python. Geometry shapes functions are used for defining and modifying Adaptive Templates geometries in Python. For descriptions of the functions, see Geometry shapes.
