How to add EDT parameter

[hui-zhou-a]

Hi,

I would like to create a workflow with a EDT node. However, I could not figure out the correct way to assign parameters.

Could anyone help me?

Below is my code

batch = True
osl = Optislang(
    executable=r"C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\v252\optiSLang\optislang.exe",
    batch=batch
)

if not batch:
    osl.application.new()

rs = osl.application.project.root_system

# Create a sensitivity workflow
sensi = rs.create_node(node_types.Sensitivity)

import ansys.optislang.core.project_parametric as pp

# Create a node in the workflow
aedt_node = sensi.create_node(node_types.AEDT2, design_flow=nodes.DesignFlow.RECEIVE_SEND)

pp = aedt_node.get_properties()

pp["Path"]["path"]["base_path_mode"] = "ABSOLUTE_PATH"
pp["Path"]["path"]["split_path"]["head"] = r"D:\PycharmProjects\aedt_script_hub\osl\example_files"
pp["Path"]["path"]["split_path"]["tail"] = r"tline_v3.aedt"
aedt_node.set_property(name="Path", value=pp["Path"])

aedt_node.register_location_as_parameter(
    location="Thru_2x.Thru_2x.length",
    # name="df",
    # reference_value=0.1
)

osl.application.save_as(r"D:\PycharmProjects\aedt_script_hub\osl\output\mc.opf")

osl.dispose()

I am getting this error

Any help is appreciated.

Hi @hui-zhou-a, the format for the EDT locations is as follows (Json schema):

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "dir": {
      "type": "string",
      "enum": ["input", "output"]
    },
    "name": {
      "type": "string"
    }
  },
  "required": ["dir", "name"],
  "additionalProperties": false
}

So in you case, for registering e.g. input "Thru_2x.Thru_2x.length" as parameter:

{
    "dir" : "input",
    "name" : "Thru_2x.Thru_2x.length"
} 

The location formats are dynamic and depend on the connector node type. That makes it difficult to document. The best way to find out the proper format for each node type is (do this once):

• create the node in UI mode
• register parameters/responses in UI mode
• open/connect to the project via PyOptiSLang
• use get_registered_parameters/get_registered_responses methods and review location format
