Load a model#

To load a model, you need an instance of a SysML2 Connector. For more information, (see Use a connector).

You can then create an instance of the SysML2ProjectManager class. This class helps you load a model in Python, using the SysML2 standard API.

Create a SysML2 project manager instance#

project_manager = SysML2ProjectManager(connector=ansyssysml2apiconnector)

For more information, see the SysML2ProjectManager class.

With the project manager, and the ID of the project you want, you can load two types of projects:

SysML2 project (static approach)#

SysML2 projects use a Python-based metamodel, enabling static completion for all SysML2 properties.

project = project_manager.get_sysml_project(
    "<Computer Project ID>"
)  # You can find your project ID in the URL of the editor.

Scripting projects use a dynamic class generation approach. This offers flexibility but does not provide autocompletion.

Get the project using the project ID#

project = project_manager.get_scripting_project(
    "<Computer Project ID>"
)  # You can find your project ID in the URL of the editor.

Both of the approaches give you a Python version of your model.

See Approaches dynamic and static for more information about the differences between these approaches and when to use each of them.
