Import ODB++ Archive

This example demonstrates how to launch the Sherlock gRPC service, import an ODB++ archive, and handle common exceptions during the import process.

Description Sherlock’s gRPC API enables automation of various workflows, including importing ODB++ archives. This script demonstrates how to: - Connect to the Sherlock service. - Import an ODB++ archive. - Handle import errors gracefully.

from ansys.sherlock.core import launcher
from ansys.sherlock.core.errors import SherlockImportODBError

Connect to Sherlock

Connect to the Sherlock service and ensure proper initialization.

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

Traceback (most recent call last):

FileNotFoundError: Certificate file not found: certs\ca.crt. Ensure that the certificates are present in the 'certs' folder or set the 'ANSYS_GRPC_CERTIFICATES' environment variable.

Delete Project

Delete the project if it already exists.

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

Import ODB++ Archive

Import an ODB++ archive provided with the Sherlock installation.

try:
    odb_path = os.path.join(get_sherlock_tutorial_path(), "ODB++ Tutorial.tgz")
    sherlock.project.import_odb_archive(
        archive_file=odb_path,
        process_layer_thickness=True,
        include_other_layers=True,
        process_cutout_file=True,
        guess_part_properties=True,
        ims_stackup=True,
        project="Test",
        cca_name="Card",
    )
    print("ODB++ archive imported successfully.")
except SherlockImportODBError as e:
    print(f"Error importing ODB++ archive: {e}")
