Running this example results in an error-"Modeling: Sweep chain and sweep sketch"

What is the cause of this error? thank you

Looks like a vtk/trame issue. Could you let me know what versions of vtk and trame are you using? Easiest way is that you copy paste the output of this command:

pip freeze

For some reason your dependencies seem to be quite old. I believe that you might be using an old virtual environment. My recommendations are:

Option 1: create a new virtual environment and install ansys-geometry-core again from scratch
Option 1bis: what you can also do is install the tests target of ansys-geometry-core

pip install ansys-geometry-core[tests]

This will make you have the same pinned dependencies we have when testing.

Option 2: force the upgrade of the VTK and trame related packages:

pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall 'trame>=2.5.2' 'trame-client>=2.12.7' 'trame-server>=2.11.7' 'trame-vtk>=2.5.8' 'trame-vuetify>=2.3.1'

The above problem is solved, and there are new problems. 😂Is it also because the dependencies are too old?

[RobPasMue]

Awesome, at least the old problems are solved! And no, the new problem is not due to dependencies 😆

Now, this new problem is caused because the features you are trying to use are only available in Ansys 24R2. Unless you have access to the pre-release version you won't be able to perform a sweep_sketch() operation. We might need to improve the backend version message a bit more (sorry for that!)

[RobPasMue]

I just opened an issue to improve the message - see #1143

[wangleitheone]

When will the 24R2 be released, please? I'm interested in PyAnsys and hope to use a more full-featured version soon.

Hi @wangleitheone! I might have to verify this date, but this should be coming in the next few weeks (mid May - early June). Stay tuned! I'll keep you posted.
