Introduction to ANSYS ACT in Mechanical - (Available as Self-Paced Learning)

Overview

The scope of this training is to cover ANSYS Application Customization Toolkit ACT in Workbench Mechanical / Meshing. You will learn how the development toolkit works and explore its API. After completing the course, you will be able to automate the creation of standard tree objects in Mechanical/Meshing; create custom loads and results in Mechanical or its integrated modules and will have a good understanding of the toolkit capabilities.

Learning Outcome

  • How to install a scripted extension in ANSYS Mechanical

  • Building and installing a binary extension

  • How to use the ACT console with its autocompletion
