The Focus
A periodic publication for the general ANSYS user that provides a wealth of technical information on ANSYS and its uses. The goal of the feature articles is to inform users of the capabilities ANSYS has to offer, and to provide users with helpful tips and hints for using these products more effectively.

PADT Seminar Series
These seminars are oriented towards potential users and their mangers. The focus is on communicating technical capabilities and benefits. They are not “sales pitches” or “demos”. The presentations are lead by an experienced PADT engineer who will discuss the capabilities of the tool in question as well as real world applications for it. When appropriate, there will be time for attendees to get some hands-on experience with the program, or at least see a realistic demonstration of its usage.

The SWAU Report
The Southwest ANSYS Users (SWAU) is an organization of ANSYS users and people interested in ANSYS, who are located in the Southwest (Arizona, New Mexico, and El Paso). The goal of the organization is to provide a sense of community for ANSYS users in the region, to serve as a means of communication about ANSYS, and to provide technical and peer resources to those interested in becoming ANSYS users.
