Run ICT Analysis

This example demonstrates how to connect to the Sherlock gRPC service, import a project, and configure ICT analysis properties.

Description

Sherlock allows you to perform ICT (In-Circuit Test) analysis. This script performs the following steps: - Connect to the Sherlock service. - Import a project. - Configure the properties for ICT analysis.

For further details, refer to the official documentation on ICT analysis in Sherlock.

import os

from examples.examples_globals import get_sherlock_tutorial_path

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

Connect to Sherlock

Connect to the Sherlock service and ensure proper initialization.

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

Traceback (most recent call last):

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("Error importing project zip archive.")

Update ICT Analysis Properties

Configure properties for ICT analysis.

try:
    # Update properties for ICT analysis
    sherlock.analysis.update_ict_analysis_props(
        project="Test",
        ict_analysis_properties=[
            {
                "cca_name": "Auto Relay",
                "ict_application_time": 2,
                "ict_application_time_units": "sec",
                "ict_number_of_events": 10,
                "part_validation_enabled": False,
                "require_material_assignment_enabled": False,
            }
        ],
    )
    print("ICT analysis properties updated successfully.")
except SherlockUpdateICTAnalysisPropsError as e:
    print("Error updating ICT analysis properties.")
