A set of tools for PyAnsys libraries
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you are developing or using PyAnsys libraries—it is likely already a transitive dependency. Install directly if you are building tools within the PyAnsys ecosystem and need access to its shared utilities. The low install friction, active maintenance, MIT license, and absence of known vulnerabilities make it safe to adopt. Not necessary for standalone use outside the PyAnsys context.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.10 or later (supports 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, 3.14).
- Low friction installation with a pure-Python wheel and minimal dependencies.
- Actively maintained with a release within the last day and commits as recent as 2026-08-14.

What it is and what it does
Ansys Common Tools is a shared library for the PyAnsys ecosystem, providing reusable utilities that Ansys Python packages depend on. It wraps common functionality like command-line argument handling (via click), platform-specific directory resolution (via platformdirs), HTTP requests (via requests), and version/environment introspection (via scooby). The package is classified as Beta and targets scientific and research users working with Ansys tools.
It serves as a foundation layer for other PyAnsys libraries rather than a standalone end-user tool. Installation is straightforward with low friction, and the package is actively maintained with recent releases and commits. It supports modern Python versions from 3.10 onwards and carries no known security vulnerabilities.
Use it for
- As a dependency for PyAnsys libraries that need shared CLI, platform detection, and HTTP utilities.
- Building Ansys-integrated Python tools that require consistent environment and version handling.
- Developing scientific workflows that leverage the PyAnsys ecosystem and need common helper functions.
- Extending Ansys tools with custom Python code that benefits from shared utility functions.
