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 a few examples 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. With Ansys 2022 R1, this scripting tool gets a range of improvements that greatly impact it's capabilities.
Join PADT's Application Engineer and MAPDL expert Robert McCathren for a look at these improvements made for the following areas as they pertain to Mechanical APDL:
- Contacts
- Elements
- Linear Dynamics
- Materials
- And much more
