Update Solder Fatigue Properties

This example demonstrates how to connect to the Sherlock gRPC service, import a project, and update solder fatigue properties.

Description

This script shows how to configure solder fatigue properties for a PCB assembly. It performs the following steps: - Connect to the Sherlock service. - Import a project. - Update solder fatigue properties.

For further details, refer to the official documentation on solder fatigue properties 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,
    SherlockUpdateSolderFatiguePropsError,
)

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):
  File "C:\Users\ansys\actions-runner\_work\pysherlock\pysherlock\examples\04-analyses\update_solder_fatigue_properties.py", line 63, in <module>

    raise SherlockConnectionError(message="Error starting gRPC service")

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 Solder Fatigue Properties

Configure solder fatigue properties for the PCB assembly.

try:
    sherlock.analysis.update_solder_fatigue_props(
        project="Test",
        solder_fatigue_properties=[
            {
                "cca_name": "Auto Relay",
                "solder_material": "TIN-LEAD (63SN37PB)",
                "part_temp": 70,
                "part_temp_units": "F",
                "use_part_temp_rise_min": True,
                "part_validation_enabled": True,
            }
        ],
    )
    print("Solder fatigue properties updated successfully.")
except SherlockUpdateSolderFatiguePropsError as e:
    print("Error updating solder fatigue properties.")
