Customizing Ansys Electronics Desktop with Ansys ACT

With Ansys ACT, you can create custom applications or extensions to customize supported Ansys products, including Electronics Desktop.

Note:

The ACT Extensions window and the design wizards it contains (5G Wizard, HFSS Antenna Design Toolkit, HFSS-EMA3D Link, and Maxwell Eccentricities) are only available for the Windows version of the Ansys Electronics Desktop software. These items are not available when the software is installed on a Linux platform.

An ACT guided process extension enables you to leverage both the functionality of Electronics Desktop and the scripting capabilities of the Workbench/AIM framework API. You can manipulate existing features and simulation components, organizing them as needed to produce a custom automated process. A guided process extension is exposed in Electronics Desktop as a wizard that provides step-by-step simulation guidance within the application workflow.

To access ACT functionality in Electronics Desktop, open the ACT Home page by clicking View > ACT Extensions.

For more information, see ACT Simulation Wizards and Electronics Desktop Wizard in the Ansys ACT Developer's Guide.
