Get version of running AEDT

[fwlfHS]

When connecting to a running instance of AEDT you need to specify the version. Is there an easy way to get the version of a running AEDT in python?

If you have one single AEDT session, it is easy to find. The following code returns the AEDT processes given a version, you can use a similar approach to get the version when the loop finds the AEDT process:

import psutil

version = "2023.2"
keys = ["ansysedt.exe"]
if not version:
    return []
if version and "." in version:
    version = version[-4:].replace(".", "")
if version < "222":
    version = version[:2] + "." + version[2]
sessions = []
for p in psutil.process_iter():
    try:
        if p.name() in keys:
            cmd = p.cmdline()
            if not version or (version and version in cmd[0]):
                if "-grpcsrv" in cmd:
                    if not version or (version and version in cmd[0]):
                        try:
                            sessions.append(
                                [
                                    p.pid,
                                    int(cmd[cmd.index("-grpcsrv") + 1]),
                                ]
                            )
                        except IndexError:
                            sessions.append(
                                [
                                    p.pid,
                                    -1,
                                ]
                            )
                else:
                    sessions.append(
                        [
                            p.pid,
                            -1,
                        ]
                    )
    except:
        pass
