EdbHandler
✓ from ansys.edb.core import EdbHandler
✗ from ansys.edb.core import EdbHandler

Connect to EDB service and open a database.

import os from ansys.edb.core import EdbHandler # Connect to EDB service (requires EDB service running) edb = EdbHandler() edb.connect() # Open an existing EDB database edb_db_path = os.environ.get('EDB_DB_PATH', '') edb.open(edb_db_path) # Print cell names for cell in edb.cells: print(cell.name) edb.close()

Known issues
breakingIn v0.3.0, the top-level module structure was reorganized: many classes moved from `ansys.edb.core` to submodules like `layout`, `cell`, `net`. Direct imports from `ansys.edb.core` may break.
fix
Use imports from the correct submodules (e.g., `from ansys.edb.core.layout import Cell`)
affects: >=0.3.0
breakingThe `EdbHandler` class was moved to `ansys.edb.core` in v0.3.0; previously it was at `ansys.edb`. Old import will raise ImportError.
fix
Change import to `from ansys.edb.core import EdbHandler`
affects: >=0.3.0
gotchaThe library requires an external EDB service (gRPC server) running on a specific port. Connecting without the service results in `grpc.RpcError`.
fix
Ensure the EDB service is started before using the library. See https://github.com/ansys/pyedb-core for instructions.
affects: all
deprecatedMethods like `get_cell_by_name()` are replaced by property-based access (e.g., `edb.cells`).
fix
Use `edb.cells` or `edb.get_cell_by_name()` is deprecated; prefer `edb.cells`.
affects: >=0.3.0
