Update Mount Points by File

This example demonstrates how to connect to the Sherlock gRPC service, import a project, update mount points using a file, and properly close the connection.

Description

Sherlock’s gRPC API allows users to automate workflows such as updating mount points for a CCA using a CSV file. This script demonstrates how to: - Connect to the Sherlock service. - Import a project. - Update mount points using a CSV file.

The updated mount points can be used for further structural analysis and validation.

import os

from examples.examples_globals import get_sherlock_tutorial_path

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

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}")

Update Mount Points by File

Update the mount points for the “Card” of the “Tutorial” project using a CSV file.

csv_file_path = os.path.join(os.getcwd(), "updateMountPoints.csv")

try:
    sherlock.layer.update_mount_points_by_file(
        project="Test",
        cca_name="Main Board",
        file_path=csv_file_path,
    )
    print("Mount points updated successfully using the CSV file.")
except SherlockUpdateMountPointsByFileError as e:
    print(f"Error updating mount points by file: {e}")
