Item

class ansys.dynamicreporting.core.Item(service: ADR = None, obj_name: str | None = 'default', source: str | None = 'ADR')

Provides for creating an object that represents an Ansys Dynamic Reporting item.

Create an instance of this class for each item in the database that you want to interact with. When the object is created, no type is set. The type, determined the first time that you set the item_* attribute, cannot be changed.

This code creates an instance with the object my_txt as a text item:

>>> my_txt = adr_service.create_item()
>>> my_txt.item_text = '<h1>The test</h1>This is a text item'

The type of the item created in the preceding code cannot be changed. However, the attributes describing the object can be reset at any time. These hanges are automatically propagated into the database. The attributes described in the following “Parameters” section can be used to control the rendering of these objects.

Note

These attributes mirror the generic data item attributes described in Data Items in the documentation for Ansys Dynamic Reporting.

Parameters:

serviceansys.dynamicreporting.core.Service, optional

Ansys Dynamic Reporting object that provides the connection to the database that the item is to interact with. The default is None.

obj_namestr, optional

Name of the item object in the database. The default is default.

sourcestr, optional

Name of the source for the item in the database. The default is "ADR".

Examples

Initialize the Service class inside an Ansys Dynamic Reporting service and create an object as a text item:

import ansys.dynamicreporting.core as adr
adr_service = adr.Service(ansys_installation = r'C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\v232')
adr_service.connect(url='http://localhost:8010')
