All rights reserved.February 23, 2009Inventory #002593Training 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 expa

33、nd, analysis systems. Custom Systems: predefined analysis systems for coupled applications (FSI, thermal-stress, etc.). Users can also create their own predefined systems.

Using the check boxes in the “View All / Customize” window, the items displayed in the toolbox can be toggled on or off. The too

36、 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

The Project Schematic By dropping applications and/or systems into various locations in the schematic, an overall analysis project is defined. “Connectors” indicate the level of collab

40、oration between systems. In the example below a structural system is dragged and dropped onto a thermal system at the Model cell (A4). Before completing the operation notice there are a number of optional “drop targets” that will provide various types of linkage between systems (continued next page)

49、ries to manage all associated files. Users should allow Workbench to manage the content of these 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.

50、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 (explained next).Introduction1-27ANSYS, Inc. Proprietary 2009 ANSYS, Inc. All rights reserved.February 23,

This essentially is the state of all parameters for a particular analysis. In the case of a single analysis there will be only one “dp0” directory. global: contains subdi

52、rectories for each application in the analysis. In the example at right the “Mech” directory will contain the database, and other associated files from the Mechanical application. SYS: the “SYS” directory will contain subdirectories for each system type in the project (e.g. Mechanical, Fluent, CFX,

53、etc.). Each system subdirectory contains solver specific files. For example the MECH subdirectory would contain the results file, the ds.dat file, solve.out file and so on. user_files: contains input files, user macro files etc. that may be associated with a project.Introduction1-28ANSYS, Inc.
