The ANSYS finite element solvers enable a breadth and depth of capabilities unmatched by anyone in the world of computer-aided simulation. Thermal, Structural, Acoustic, Piezoelectric, Electrostatic and Circuit Coupled Electromagnetics are just an example of what can be simulated. Regardless of the type of simulation, each model is represented by a powerful scripting language, the ANSYS Parametric Design Language (APDL).

APDL is the foundation for all sophisticated features, many of which are not exposed in the Workbench Mechanical user interface. It also offers many conveniences such as parameterization, macros, branching and looping, and complex math operations. All these benefits are accessible within the ANSYS Mechanical APDL user interface.

Join PADT’s Principle & Co-Owner Eric Miller for a look at what’s new for MAPDL in ANSYS 2020 R1, regarding:

Linear Dynamics

Elements

Contacts

Post Processing

Solver Components
