"Troubles Building PyAnsys Geometry Docker Container: Seeking Help for Ansys 2024 R1 Student Version"

[santoshdoddipatla]

I am a student currently working on integrating PyFluent with PyAnsys Geometry. I have successfully installed the Ansys 2024 R1 student version, GitHub Desktop, and Docker Desktop. Following the documentation, I cloned the PyAnsys Geometry repository into a local folder.

However, when attempting to build the Windows Docker container using the command "docker build -t ghcr.io/ansys/geometry:windows-latest -f Dockerfile.windows .", I encountered an issue where the Windows binaries.zip file could not be downloaded. Unfortunately, the "latest release artifacts for the Windows Docker container" hyperlink in the documentation led to a 404 error.

I am seeking guidance on whether it is possible to build, connect, and launch Ansys Geometry services using the Ansys 2024 R1 student version. If feasible, please help with the installation process.

Hi @santoshdoddipatla - let's go step by step on your comments:

Unfortunately, the "latest release artifacts for the Windows Docker container" hyperlink in the documentation led to a 404 error.

As stated in the documentation, direct access to the binaries is only available for Ansys employees. I'm sorry for the inconveniences. If you had the Ansys Geometry Service locally installed, you could make use of the build_docker_windows.py script located here: https://github.com/ansys/pyansys-geometry/blob/main/docker/build_docker_windows.py

I am seeking guidance on whether it is possible to build, connect, and launch Ansys Geometry services using the Ansys 2024 R1 student version. If feasible, please help with the installation process.

I verified the Ansys Student 24R1 installation and the Ansys Geometry Service is currently not distributed with it. What you do have access to though is both SpaceClaim and Ansys Discovery. You can also run SpaceClaim and Discovery in headless modes if you prefer.

Using ansys-geometry-core version 0.4.9 or later, you can perform the following:

from ansys.geometry.core import launch_modeler

# For SpaceClaim
modeler = launch_modeler(mode="spaceclaim", hidden=True)

# For Ansys Discovery
modeler = launch_modeler(mode="discovery", hidden=True)

Creating a 3D Wing with Varying Chord Sections
i am working on project title of optimization of aerodynamic shape of fixed wing uav.Reference airfoil profile is naca 2412
i am facing problem in creating 3d wing geometry in pyansys geometry using spaceclaim modeler, firstly i started with 2d airfoil profile using pyvista spline command and then i tried to extrude it but i am getting error . is it possible to create a 3d wing in pyansys geometry with different chord sections. if it is possible can you help me how to create a 3d wing

Let's leave that for #984 if you don't mind to keep the discussions isolated @santoshdoddipatla
