Update PCB Modeling Properties

This example demonstrates how to connect to the Sherlock gRPC service, import a project, and configure PCB modeling properties for various analysis types.

Description

Sherlock allows you to configure PCB modeling properties for multiple analysis types. This script performs the following steps: - Connect to the Sherlock service. - Import a project. - Configure PCB modeling properties for several analysis types.

import os

from examples.examples_globals import get_sherlock_tutorial_path

from ansys.sherlock.core import launcher
from ansys.sherlock.core.errors import (
    SherlockImportProjectZipArchiveError,
    SherlockUpdatePcbModelingPropsError,
)
from ansys.sherlock.core.types.analysis_types import (
    ElementOrder,
    UpdatePcbModelingPropsRequestAnalysisType,
    UpdatePcbModelingPropsRequestPcbMaterialModel,
    UpdatePcbModelingPropsRequestPcbModelType,
)

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(), "Auto Relay Project.zip"),
    )
    print("Tutorial project imported successfully.")
except SherlockImportProjectZipArchiveError as e:
    print(f"Error importing project zip archive: {e}")

Update PCB Modeling Properties

Configure PCB modeling properties for various analysis types.
