Trying to Poll The Status of HFSS Simulation Run in Non-Blocking Mode

[ajibay0]

Hello,
I'm trying to get the status messages of an hfss simulation I've run in n on-blocking mode. The simulation starts up successfully and hfss.are_there_simulations_running does return True. However hfss.get_monitor_data() does not return the dictionary correctly and it repeatedly errors out. What is the best way to accomplish this ? Essentially I'm trying to see if I can extract the status messages and feed that back to a user when a simulation is non in Non GUI mode.

Hi @ajibay0 ,

Please review this discussion:

#6119

Which AEDT version are you using? For me, it is working in 2025R1 as I said in the previous link.

Thanks for the response @Samuelopez-ansys I'll try that I'm on 2024R2 but I will update to 2025. I also noticed that the analyze function for parameter sweeps does not accept a "blocking" parameter and it halts the script. Is there a workaround that ? This is the function I mean: https://aedt.docs.pyansys.com/version/stable/API/_autosummary/ansys.aedt.core.modules.design_xploration.SetupParam.analyze.html#ansys.aedt.core.modules.design_xploration.SetupParam.analyze

If you deep dive in the analsys_setup method:

https://aedt.docs.pyansys.com/version/stable/API/_autosummary/ansys.aedt.core.hfss.Hfss.analyze_setup.html

You can see that if you pass the nameof the Parametrics sweep, it should work:

Then something like this should work:

app.analyze_setup("my_parametric_setup_name", blocking=False)

I will fix the analyze call from the parametrics to allow the blocking too.

Samuel
