Note

PyACP requires Ansys 2024 R2 to run. Unless you have advance access to the Ansys 2024 R2 release, you will not be able to use PyACP until the release is publicly available.

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.
