Content contribution setup

Python’s vast ecosystem of mathematical and scientific computing tools is widely used for data analysis. PyAnsys is a collection of Python-based, open source projects tailored specifically for engineers who want to automate their simulation workflows and extend the capabilities of Ansys products.

This section describes Python client libraries and explains how to set up your development environment for contributing to the documentation for PyAnsys libraries.

• A Python client library is a collection of source files.

• A package is a superset of the Python client library. It includes all source files and the supporting files needed to install and use the library.

Additionally, this section provides essential information for documenting PyAnsys libraries and includes links to all the many resources relevant to creating and maintaining this documentation. The PyAnsys documentation resources page and the Content how-tos section are likely to be the content that you refer to most as you become proficient in contributing to PyAnsys documentation.
