Overview

The Visualization Interface Tool is a Python API that provides an interface between PyAnsys libraries and different plotting backends.

The Visualization Interface Tool offers these main features:

• Serves as an interface between PyAnsys and other plotting libraries (although only PyVista <https://docs.pyvista.org/version/stable/>_ is supported currently).
• Provides out-of-the box picking, viewing, and measuring functionalities.
• Supplies an extensible class for adding custom functionalities.
