Getting Started with Workbench

Ansys is not a program like Solidworks. Rather than having a single viewport to your model open at all times that lets you perform a wide variety of functions, Ansys is segmented into different programs such as mesh, mechanical, and ACP that are accessible through whatever systems you drop into your workbench project.

To start a project, either open Ansys Workbench, or use the Workbench button in Solidworks on whatever model you would like to import.
