It is a module inside Ansys Workbench that allows for material modelling homogenization |

Hi @germa89 @manuelspinheiro So, it is not exactly MAPDL so no you can not use PyMAPDL to call the module. If you are a commercial customer I would suggest opening an standard technical support case. I think, but am not sure, that you can record the script using MD. Then write a WB Journal script (python) that would execute MD. And, again I think, then use a...system command from a Python script to launch WB and read the journal file. Mike |

@manuelspinheiro I just realized that PyWorkbench was made public! And was just in a field testing meeting where a example of using MD controlled from a Python script was shown. Check the site in a few days or so as they were talking about publishing the example on the PyWorkbench Example page. Mike |

@rmanno91 do you know anything related to MD? |

@germa89 yes, I am taking care of the development of MD. As @mikerife said there is not way to call MD from pyMAPDL. We are currently working on developing a python version of MD but is not released yet. |

Hi @germa89 @manuelspinheiro
It is a tool based on SpaceClaim and MAPDL. It is hosted inside of SpaceClaim so we can design a unit cube of some material (like a woven composite) then MAPDL runs a series of analyses and it puts together a continum material model.
So, it is not exactly MAPDL so no you can not use PyMAPDL to call the module. If you are a commercial customer I would suggest opening an standard technical support case.
