ANSYS Workbench is a project-management tool. It can be considered as
the top-level interface linking all our software tools.
Workbench handles the passing of data between ANSYS Geometry / Mesh /
Solver / Postprocessing tools.
This greatly helps project management. You do not need worry about the
individual files on disk (geometry, mesh etc). Graphically, you can see at-a-
glance how a project has been built.
Because Workbench can manage
the individual applications AND
pass data between them, it is easy
to automatically perform design
studies (parametric analyses) for
design optimisation.
