0.4.0

v0.4.0 Release Notes

pydpf-core 0.4.0 released for Ansys 2022 R1

What's Changed

Enhancements

• Verify ansys-grpc-dpf module's version on server start and connection and raise a helpful error message if the wrong version is used
• Add native remote workflows capability: Workflows and Operators instantiated on different servers can be connected together transparently to create distributed pre and post processing workflows. Workflows created on a given server can be moved to other servers.
• Print optional progress bar when Operators or Workflows are evaluated. This uses the new Session API through grpc.
• Evaluate Operators or Workflows asynchronously to fetch progress in the meanwhile
• Start automatically server on Docker Container with, either the environment variable DPF_DOCKER or either the parameter docker_name of the function start_local_server set to the name of the docker. Unit tests can be run on Docker Container
• Implement Integral Collection to connect and get output data as int, double or string arrays more efficiently from Operators and Workflows
• Create generic calls to get and set field properties from and to the MeshedRegion
• Identify DPF entities in grpc databases by their entity IDs and their DataBase IDs to allow for better communication between servers
• Add capability to generate operators python code client side
• Read the mesh by default when a displacement is requested (can be disabled with model.mesh_by_default = False )
• Support new operators to average elemental centroids results
• Improve handling of MAPDL coupled analysis
• Create path_utilities to offer helpers on path depending on the server os
• Add capability to connect TimeFreqSupport to Operators or Workflows is added

Continuous Integration

• Move CI/CD pipelines to github actions (unit testing on windows and documentation build for Ansys 2022R1)

Bug fixes

• Fix automatic code generation for model.results.... so that it works for results with scripting names having " ", "/", "", ".", ":", ";", ",", "(", ")" characters.
• "Wrap" decorator server_meet_version so that call stacks when exception are raised are correct
• Fetch named selections from the MeshedRegion only when it's specifically required to improve performances
• Properly release memory server side when time/frequencies are requested by the TimeFreqSupport
• Add more unary calls in ResultInfo service

Documentation fixes

• README.md references pydpf-core instead of DPF-Core
• Improve spelling
