HFSS15: IronPython Script Execution Environment

Scripts written in IronPython are executed by desktop in four different ways:

• Tools>Command Window, to open the IronPython Command Window:

• Tools > Run Script menu item, select “IronPython” from the file type drop down

• Launch the product with a script argument, e.g., HFSS –runscript someScript.py

• Register an IronPython script as an external tool using the Tools > External Tools menu item.

When desktop executes a script, it does so in an execution environment setup with predefined variables and functions. These predefined variables and functions are how the script communicates with the desktop and they come in three flavors.
