Reading objects in Hfss3DLayout (pyaedt)

[neeraj-lohia]

I am working on pyaedt (python based ansys modelling) and I have a Hfss3DLayout project. I want to read the objects on a particular layer.

import ansys.aedt.core as pyaedt
project = pyaedt.Hfss3dLayout(r"C:\Scripts\work\my_project.aedt")
object_layer1 = project.modeler.objects_by_layer("Layer_1")

With the above function, I can get the list of object names but not the actual objects.

In Q3D and HFSS, there is a function project.modeler.get_object_from_name("objectName"), which can be used to get objects using the name of the object, but this function does not exist for Hfss3DLayout.

How can I read the object in Hfss3DLayout?

@neeraj-lohia You can get the object just doing:

project.modeler.geometries[object_layer1[0]]

I encourage you to debug with an IDE like Pycharm or Visual Studio, it will help you to identify which properties and method can help you.

"Thank you for the suggestion, Samuel. However, I've found that using project.modeler.geometries[object_layer1[0]] only returns objects with predefined geometries like rectangles or circles. It doesn't seem to work for objects with strange shapes, such as bondwires or user-defined shapes.
