The technologies that make up the Workbench offer some significant advantages over more traditional FE pre/post processors, but they may lack some critical capabilities that users would like to have access to. ANSYS has a huge wealth of capabilities but does not offer the advantages of Workbench. Once again APDL (ANSYS Parametric Design Language) steps into the breach to solve the problem.
This is possible because the way that the Workbench works under the hood. In order to talk to the solvers in ANSYS, the program actually creates a batch APDL script that ANSYS solves, and then converts the answers into a format Workbench can understand. Users have access to this file in either of two ways:
- Go into Control Panel > Preferences > Solution and set “Save ANSYS Files” to “Yes”. A file called jobname.inp will be saved in your solution directory.
- Click on the “Solution” branch of your model then select “Write ANSYS Input File…” from the Tools menu.
To understand what is and is not in this file, take a simple Workbench model, save the file, and view it in the editor. As you can see, there is no geometry, just nodes, elements, loads, and solver commands. If you use the second option a “/eof” is placed in the file just before the solve commands. Note how the code asks for all sorts of useful bits of information for Workbench, as well as how that information and the results are written to Workbench with the /xml command. Also note that “Named Selections” from the Workbench are converted into Components in ANSYS. This is a very powerful aspect of how the two programs work together, and it enables a large amount of sophisticated automation.
Some users simply use the Workbench as much as they can, then write out this file as a starting point for an APDL-based analysis. More experienced users will also use this file to debug a run that is not working correctly. This is fine for many circumstances but if geometry modifications or parameter studies are needed, Workbench offers a better alternative. |
