Hi Renuka,

You can open ansa file with the command

base.open(filename)

Open, BETA PYTHON development Manual
NAME:
Open - Opens an existing file in ANSA.

SYNOPSIS:
ansa.base.Open(filename)

DESCRIPTION:
This function instructs ANSA to open an existing file.
Arguments

filename


RETURN:
It returns 0 in case of success or 0:OPEN_ANSA_FILE_SUCCESS, 1:OPEN_ANSA_FILE_PERMISSION_DENIED,
2:OPEN_ANSA_FILE_NOT_ANSA_DB, 3:OPEN_ANSA_FILE_NOT_VALID_CAD, 4:OPEN_ANSA_FILE_NOT_COMPATIBLE_DB,
5:OPEN_ANSA_FILE_READ_ERROR, 6:OPEN_ANSA_FILE_CAD_ERROR, 7:OPEN_ANSA_FILE_NOT_ALLOWED_IN_THIS_MODULE

EXAMPLE:
import ansa
from ansa import base


def main():

base.Open("C:/tmp/users/folder/data.ansa")


I attached the screenshot of the script window. You can search for the ansa script command or function in the right side of your script window.

You can learn ansa scripting by seeing the already available ansa scripts in ansa installation folder. You can source code of the user scripts in below folder BetaCAE\ansa_v17.1.2\scripts. You should know python and ansa to do scripting. Without having experience in ansa, scripting is going to be very difficult for you.

Regards
Maries
