Tips & Tricks

How to set up ANSYS Workbench to perform the solution on another computer
You can set up ANSYS Workbench Simulation so that when you click Solve, the solution is performed on another Windows computer, or on your own computer but with a different license. The latter is especially useful if you have pre/post and batch solver licenses. Here is a step-by-step guide that shows the procedure for setting it up.

Enhancement for stress evalution on surfaces
Version 11 of ANSYS Classic introduced an evaluation-only key option for elements SHELL181 and SHELL281. By using this option, shell elements can be draped over a regular solid mesh (with ESURF) so that they do not affect the solution but make it easier to evaluate stresses and strains at the surfaces of volumes in postprocessing.
