PyACP#

Note

PyACP is currently released as a beta version. This means that the API may change in future releases. We encourage you to try PyACP and provide us with feedback.

PyACP enables modelling continuous-fiber composite structures from within your Python environment. It provides access to the features of Ansys Composite PrepPost (ACP) through a Python interface.

This makes PyACP a powerful tool for automating the design, analysis and optimization of composite structures.
