Introduction

The EMA3D scripting Application Programming Interface (API) allows users to script common tasks so they can be used within Discovery's built-in IronPython environment along with Discovery's scripting API. This allows users to automate tasks such as modifying simulation geometry and properties, meshing, generating simulation files, and executing simulations.

• Modifying simulation geometry

• Adjusting simulation properties

• Meshing

• Generating simulation files

• Executing simulations

IronPython is based on Python 2.7, which is the final stable release of Python 2 (April 6, 2013). Documentation for Python 2.7 can be found on the official Python website .

IronPython provides valuable .NET Integration capabilities, which allows for importing and accessing of .NET assemblies and methods. A basic tutorial on importing the EMA3D API can be found HERE. For the official IronPython .NET integration documentation, visit the IronPython Documentation website .
