unable to retrive nets information using edb and how to find primitve ID of a net

[srinithkumar99]

I am working on a project which retrives nets information using edb but facing issues with the library. can someone help me with this query .

import os
import pyaedt
from pyaedt import Edb
import time
edb_path = "path" # Your path
try:
edb = Edb(edb_path) # Or with edbversion if needed
time.sleep(2)
if edb:
all_nets = edb.nets.nets
if all_nets:
print("Nets found:", list(all_nets.keys())) # <--- Critical check
else:
print("No nets found.")
edb.close_edb()
else:
print("Failed to load EDB.")
except Exception as e:
import traceback
traceback.print_exc()
print(f"Error: {e}")

2. can someone help in identifying the primitve ID for a net? Is there any code to retrieve the primitive ID of the nets

Hello @srinithkumar99,
you can cast primitives from net object using the property, for instance here on GND net

from pyedb import Edb
from pyedb.generic.general_methods import generate_unique_folder_name
from pyedb.misc.downloads import download_file

output_project = r"D:\Temp\demo.aedb"
temp_folder = generate_unique_folder_name()
targetfile = download_file("edb/ANSYS-HSD_V1.aedb", destination=temp_folder)

ansys_version = "2ß25.1"

edb = Edb(edbpath=targetfile, edbversion=ansys_version)
edb.nets.power["GND"].primitives
