Export All Mount Points

This example demonstrates how to connect to the Sherlock gRPC service, import a project, and export all mount points for a CCA.

Description

Sherlock’s gRPC API allows users to automate various workflows, including exporting all mount points for a PCB. This script demonstrates how to: - Connect to the Sherlock service. - Import a tutorial project. - Export all mount points to a CSV file.

The exported mount points can be used for further analysis or design purposes.

import os

from examples.examples_globals import get_sherlock_tutorial_path, get_temp_dir

from ansys.sherlock.core import launcher
from ansys.sherlock.core.errors import (
    SherlockExportAllMountPoints,
    SherlockImportProjectZipArchiveError,
)

Connect to Sherlock

Connect to the Sherlock service and ensure proper initialization.

sherlock = launcher.connect(port=9092, timeout=10)

Delete Project

Delete the project if it already exists.

try:
    sherlock.project.delete_project("Test")
    print("Project deleted successfully.")
except Exception:
    pass

Import Tutorial Project

Import the tutorial project zip archive from the Sherlock tutorial directory.

try:
    sherlock.project.import_project_zip_archive(
        project="Test",
        category="Demos",
        archive_file=os.path.join(get_sherlock_tutorial_path(), "Tutorial Project.zip"),
    )
    print("Tutorial project imported successfully.")
except SherlockImportProjectZipArchiveError as e:
    print(f"Error importing project zip archive: {e}")

Export All Mount Points

Export all mount points for the “Main Board” to a CSV file.

try:
    mount_points_export_path = os.path.join(get_temp_dir(), "MountPointsExport.csv")
    sherlock.layer.export_all_mount_points(
        project="Test",
        cca_name="Main Board",
        export_file=mount_points_export_path,
        units="DEFAULT",
    )
    print(f"All mount points exported successfully to: {mount_points_export_path}")
except SherlockExportAllMountPoints as e:
    print(f"Error exporting all mount points: {e}")
