A .db can be a reference
file for a Mechanical APDL
object.
A Mechanical APDL object
is used to open the
Traditional ANSYS interface
from the project schematic.

You can open a .cbd file with Finite Element Modeler
Finite Element Modeler can be used to investigate the model and
convert the model to a ANSYS Mechanical model.
Finite Element Modeler can be used to parametise an input mesh

Geometry is not only the
starting point of a
Workbench based
structural simulation.
Multiple finite element
models can be assembled
and leverage all
Mechanical
functionalities, including
contact detection.
