Hfss

✓ from ansys.aedt.core import Hfss

✗ from pyaedt import Hfss

Initialize a new HFSS design. Replace version string as needed.

from pyaedt import Hfss hfss = Hfss(specified_version="2025.1", new_desktop=True) hfss.close_desktop()

Debug

Known issues

deprecatedDirect import of submodules like 'from pyaedt.hfss import Hfss' is deprecated. Use 'from pyaedt import Hfss'.

fix

Replace with 'from pyaedt import Hfss'.

affects: >=0.26.0

breakingIn v0.26.0, the 'desktop_class' parameter is replaced by 'new_desktop' and 'close_on_exit'.

fix

Use Hfss(new_desktop=True, close_on_exit=True) instead of Hfss(desktop_class=True).

affects: >=0.26.0

gotchaPyAEDT requires AEDT to be installed and licensed. Errors like 'OSError: AEDT not found' occur if AEDT is not in the expected path.

fix

Ensure Ansys Electronics Desktop is installed and the version matches the specified_version. Set environment variable ANSYSEM_ROOT2025.1 to the install path.

affects: all

gotchaNon-graphical mode must be used in CI/headless environments. Without it, AEDT may try to launch the GUI and fail.

fix

Set environment variable PYAEDT_NON_GRAPHICAL=1 before importing pyaedt.

affects: all
