Checking if an Object Belongs to an Encrypted 3D Component

[chamanth-vct]

Hi,

I have a question regarding handling encrypted 3D components within a model. Currently, when a model includes encrypted 3D components, the names of the objects within these components are available in the list of object names, as demonstrated by the code snippet below:

desktop = ansys.aedt.core.Desktop() 
prj= desktop.load_project(file_path)
model = prj.modeler
object_names = model.object_names

Is there a built-in method or function to identify if an object is part of an encrypted 3D component? Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

you could get the names of the 3d components: user_defined_component_names
and get all belonging objects: get_3d_component_object_list
now the open topic is still if a component is encrypted or not. Not sure if you can get this information through the API

I agree with your answer. About encrypted components, you are right, there is no way to retrieve this information

Hi @fwlfHS and @Samuelopez-ansys,

Thanks for your response.

We cannot create mesh plots or field plots for objects within encrypted components, and attempting to do so results in errors. To manage this, it's important to identify and filter these encrypted components before generating such plots. This is why I posed the original question. Is there any workaround for this?
