D. ANSYS Workbench Review

The ANSYS Workbench platform is a framework upon which ANSYS has developed
a suite of advanced engineering simulation applications. Workbench incorporates
bi-directional CAD connectivity, pervasive parameter management and integrated
optimization tools.

. . . ANSYS Workbench Review
The following is a brief review of Workbench (see Introduction Part 1 for in
depth coverage).
For most situations the Workbench GUI is divided into 2 primary sections, the
Toolbox and the Project Schematic.

The Toolbox The Project Schematic

17 © 2011 ANSYS, Inc. March 28, 2012 Release 14.0


. . . ANSYS Workbench Review
The Workbench project schematic is a graphical representation of the workflow
defining a system or group of systems.
From the toolbox a selection can be dragged and dropped onto the schematic (or
double clicked).

18 © 2011 ANSYS, Inc. March 28, 2012 Release 14.0


. . . ANSYS Workbench Review
By dropping applications and/or systems into various locations in the schematic,
an overall analysis project is defined.
In the example below a structural system is dragged and dropped onto a thermal
system forming a coupled thermal/structural analysis.

. . . ANSYS Workbench Review
The “View” menu (and RMB) allows additional information to be displayed in
the Workbench environment.
• Below, the geometry is highlighted and the properties are displayed.
