how to open Fluent in a Python code with a Pre/Post licence ?

[Jojo2587]

So far this works, but only in solver mode. What do I need to add? there is nothing in the user guide for this.

import ansys.fluent.core as pyfluent
from ansys.fluent.core import UIMode

session = pyfluent.launch_fluent(ui_mode=UIMode.GUI, precision="double", processor_count=8)

Thank you so much for your help !

import ansys.fluent.core as pyfluent
from ansys.fluent.core import UIMode
solver =  pyfluent.launch_fluent(ui_mode=UIMode.GUI, precision="double", processor_count=8, additional_arguments=""<arguments for pre/post license>"")

Please refer the following user docs.

Thank you for your answer.

Can you identify exactly where it is that they are refering specifically to a "Pre/Post" licence, please? Because I did looked before in both links and there is nothing about that.

I tried: solver = pyfluent.launch_fluent(ui_mode=UIMode.GUI, precision="double", processor_count=8, additional_arguments="-pp") and it didn't work.

How do you launch Fluent ? Please share the command line arguments that you use to launch Fluent in pre/post license mode. e.g. ..\fluent.exe 3ddp .....

In my Python script, I need to be able to open it using something like "session = pyfluent.launch_fluent(ui_mode=UIMode.GUI, precision="double", command to Open PrePost , processor_count=8)" as mentionned in my first message. I do not need a command line, I need a python line to open it without using a solver licence. Do you know what that line should be?

You can use the following for now.

solver = pyfluent.launch_fluent(ui_mode=UIMode.GUI, precision="double", processor_count=8, additional_arguments="-post")

We are going to support it as a new mode soon.

Thank you.
