Welcome to the PyAnsys project.

The PyAnsys project is a collection of Python packages that enable the use of

Ansys products through Python.

* [Granta MI BoM Analytics](https://grantami.docs.pyansys.com/): Pythonic interface to Ansys Granta MI BoM Analytics services.

* [Shared Components](https://shared.docs.pyansys.com/): Shared Ansys software components to enable package interoperability and minimize maintenance.

* [PyAnsys Metapackage](https://docs.pyansys.com/): Single package of collected PyAnsys packages that ensures compatibility of these packages amongst themselves and the Ansys product release that they are linked to.

Much effort is underway to continue expanding and developing repositories in the

[PyAnsys GitHub](https://github.com/pyansys/) account. On the ``Issues`` page

for each package, you can post issues and request new features. You can also feel free

to post a question on the [Ansys Developer Forums](https://discuss.ansys.com/).

We are excited to have you on board.

If you would like to contribute to the PyAnsys project, see the

[PyAnsys Developer's Guide](https://github.com/pyansys/dev-guide). You can

obtain the latest PDF of this guide from the [PyAnsys Developer's Guide - Releases](https://github.com/pyansys/dev-guide/releases).

Feel free to contact us by opening a discussion or an issue in the respective PyAnsys GitHub repository.

If you're an employee of [Ansys Inc.](https://www.ansys.com/), you can join the organization by visiting [Join PyAnsys](https://myapps.microsoft.com/signin/8f67c59b-83ac-4318-ae96-f0588382ddc0?tenantId=34c6ce67-15b8-4eff-80e9-52da8be89706).

If you're external to Ansys but want to contribute to our repositories, please open an issue on the appropriate repository and we'll consider adding you as an external contributor on a per-repository basis. This will give you write permission to open pull requests without forking the repository. You can always fork a repository and push pull requests from the fork instead if you prefer.
