PYT101 – Python programming language for Hexagon D&E applications

Objective

Python is the scripting language chosen by MSC Software to be used in many of its Applications. It has a clear syntax, modern constructs and a ‘Batteries Included’ approach that makes it ideal to be used both inside and outside the MSC ecosystem. This course is intended to help the typical MSC user to get started with the Python language by exploring the features that make Python stand out, the programming techniques to take advantage of them, and a glance at Python’s extensive Standard Library and some important external freely available modules to help the Python newcomer avoid ‘reinventing the wheel’. The course includes different workshops that explore Python integration in different engineering scenarios and MSC applications such as Adams, Marc/Mentat, Apex and SimManager.
