Introduction – SimulationIntroduction – Simulation

• The ANSYS Workbench represents more than a general purpose engineering tool.

– It provides a highly integrated engineering simulation platform.

– Supports multiple multi-physics engineering solutions.

– Provides bi-directional parametric associativity with most available CAD systems.

• This exercise is designed to introduce you to a number of the various engineering simulation capabilities of the ANSYS Workbench
