Training ManualThe Toolbox
The toolbox contains 4 subgroups:
Analysis systems:
Predefined templates that can be
placed in the schematic.
Component systems:
Various applications that can be
accessed to build, or expand,analysis systems.
Custom Systems:
Predefined analysis systems for
coupled applications (FSI, thermal-
stress, etc.). Users can also createtheir own predefined systems.
Design Exploration:
Parametric management and
optimization tools.

Training ManualThe Project Schematic
The Workbench project schematic is a graphical representation of the
workflow defining a system or group of systems.
The workflow in the project schematic is always left to right.
There are currently several applications which are native to
Workbench, meaning they run entirely in the Workbench window: Project Schematic, Engineering Data and Design Exploration
Non-native applications (called data-integrated) run in their own
window:
Mechanical (formerly Simulation), Mechanical APDL (formerly ANSYS),
ANSYS Fluent, ANSYS CFX, Etc . . .
Blocks of cells can be deleted by RMB menu selection.

In the example shown a
structural system is dragged anddropped onto a thermal system
at the Model cell (A4).
Before completing the operation
notice there are a number ofoptional drop locations that
will provide various types of
linkage between systems
(continued next page).
By dropping applications and/or analyses into various locations in
the schematic, an overall analysis project is defined.
Connectors indicate the level of collaboration between systems.

Identifying cell states:
Unfulfilled: missing upstream data.
Attention required: may need to correct this or upstream cells.
Refresh required: upstream data has changed. Need to refresh cell. An update
will also refresh the cell andregenerate any output data (e.g. mesh, results).
Update required: the data has changed and the output of the cell must be
regenerated.
Up to date.
Input changes pending: cell is locally up to date but may change when the next
update is performed due to upstream changes.
Interrupted: solver was manually stopped before it finished. Can use Resume

Training ManualWorkbench File Management
Workbench creates a project file and a series of subdirectories to
manage all associated files.
Users should allow Workbench to manage the directories.
Please do NOT manually modify the content or structure of the project
directories.
When a project is saved a project file is created (.wbpj), using the
user specified file name (e.g. MyFile.wbpj).
A project directory will be created using the project name. In the
above example the directory would be MyFile_files.
A number of subdirectories will be created in the project directory.

Schematic
Easier to update a project when a change is madeE.g. after a geometry change a single click updates the Mesh, Setup, Solution
and Results
Allows you to easily link to otherAnalysis Systemsand

Produces a simpler directory / file structure on disk
But no direct association between geometry, mesh, setup and

No built-in automation for parametric studies
