I have set the ‘Scatter To Method’with the commond ‘...ScatterToData.ScatterToMethod = 1’, then I wanna set the Ray data as shown in Fig. 1, but I failed to call the function ‘SetRayData’.
According to the Ansys Developer Guideline as shown in Fig. 2/3, it doesnt give more details, I have tried to infer corresponding code but cant work.
Fig. 1
Fig. 2
Fig. 3

As you can see, SetRayData takes a IImportanceSamplingSettings as input parameter. To create such an object, you can leverage GetRayData, which returns exactly such an object. It doesn’t matter which one you get, since you’ll be overwritting it anyway.
Here is a Python example:
object_1 = TheSystem.NCE.GetObjectAt(1)
scatterto_data = object_1.ScatterToData
scatterto_data.ScatterToMethod = ZOSAPI.Editors.NCE.ScatterToType.ImportanceSampling
ray_data = scatterto_data.GetRayData(1)
ray_data.Towards = 3
ray_data.Size = 1.23
ray_data.Limit = 4.56
scatterto_data.SetRayData(1, ray_data)
I hope this helps and take care,
David
