Getting started#

The Data Processing Framework (DPF) provides numerical simulation users and engineers with a toolbox for accessing and transforming simulation data. DPF can access data from Ansys solver result files as well as from several neutral file formats. For more information, see Introduction.

This workflow-based framework allows you to perform complex preprocessing and postprocessing operations on large amounts of simulation data.

PyDPF-Core is a Python client API communicating with a DPF Server, either through the network using gRPC or directly in the same process.
