What is Workbench
 Next Generation engineering simulation
environment from ANSYS
 A platform that combines the strength of core solvers with
product management tools for better project and data
management
 Integration framework
○ Integrates existing ANSYS technologies/applications
○ Allows for rapid integration of 3rd party applications
 Application framework
○ Develop new, state of the art user interface, applications, UI tool
kits
 Common tools and services
○ Native data management
○ Parameter management and design points, units, expressions
and journaling, scripting and batch execution

The Workbench Environment
 For most situations the Workbench GUI is divided
into 2 primary sections (there are other optional
sections we’ll see in a moment):

The Toolbox The Project Schematic

The 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
create their own predefined systems.

 Design Exploration: Parametric

management and optimization tools.

The Toolbox
- Predefined Templates
- Individual applications to build or use Analysis Systems (AS)
- Predefined/user-defined AS for coupled applications
- Parametric management and optimization tools

The Toolbox
 The systems and
components displayed in
the toolbox will depend on
the installed products.

 Using the check boxes in

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

 The toolbox customization

window is normally left
closed when not in use.

The Project Schematic
 Workbench project schematic 是一個定義系統或系
統群族的圖形介面表現。
 工作流程是由左至右。

 Workbench 本 身 就 有 幾 個 應 用 程 式 ， 如 Project
Schematic, Engineering Data and Design
Exploration
 其他的應用程式要在獨立的視窗開啟，如Mechanical
(formerly Simulation), Mechanical APDL (formerly
ANSYS), ANSYS Fluent, ANSYS CFX, Etc . . .
 Cells的區塊可以利用滑鼠右鍵（RMB）刪除

The Project Schematic

 舉 一 個 Fluid Flow
(FLUENT) analysis 的
例子，在Workbench有
兩種方式可以進行分析

 從 toolbox 拖 曳
（dragged）一個流場
分析案到schematic上，
即可開始分析

 分析從上而下進行

Meshing as a Component System

 第二種方式是Component
Systems拖曳出一個Mesh，
進行網格建置

 也可以在Component
Systems直接案滑鼠右鍵
(RMB)兩下產生Mesh.

The Project Schematic
 在Component Systems裡拖曳出一個CFX並接在A3 Cell裡，
進行網格建置
 也可以在A3 Cell上按RMB選擇CFX進行連接

Workbench File 管理 (1/4)
 Workbench creates a project file and a series of subdirectories 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.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).

Workbench File 管理 (2/4)
 Directory Structure:
 dpn: this is the design point directory. 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 subdirectories 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, 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.

Workbench File 管理(3/4)
 From the Workbench “View” menu activate the
“Files” option to display a window containing file
details and locations.

Workbench File 管理(4/4)

 Archive: quickly generates a single

compressed file containing all pertinent
files.

 File is zip format and can be opened using

the “Restore Archive . . . ” utility in WB2 or
any unzip program.

 Several options are available when

archiving systems as shown here.

Importing Models
 Models developed before Release 12.0 of Workbench can
be imported using the Import icon. They will be converted to
a WB 12.0 version

(V 11.0)

Exporting Project Components
 Project components can be exported from within the particular
application. This is similar to saving from within an 11.0 Workbench
App:
