Speos in Ansys Workbench

This page quickly introduces Ansys Workbench, the tool used by Speos to perform result and system optimization.

Note: If you need more information on Ansys Workbench functioning and behavior, refer to Ansys Workbench User's Guide.

Ansys Workbench

Ansys Workbench is the central software environment for performing mechanical, thermal, electromagnetic and optical analyses with Ansys engineering simulation solutions.

Ansys Workbench uses building blocks called systems. These systems make up a flowchart-like diagram that represent the data flow through your project.

Each system is a block of one or more components called cells, which represent the sequential steps necessary for the specific type of analysis.

One or several systems can be added to your analysis. Then, you can decide to work with a standalone system or make systems interact with each other.

To create a project, a system must be dragged and dropped in the Project Schematic view.

Speos in Workbench

Speos building block or system is directly integrated into Ansys Workbench and can be used to automate simulation processes, understand and optimize a design or create multi-physics analyses.
Note: The Speos block is not compatible with DesignModeler.

This system creates a bridge between Speos and Ansys Workbench allowing the software to exchange input and output data.

To perform an Speos analysis in Ansys Workbench, you must work through the cells of the Speos system to define inputs, specify project parameters, run simulations, and investigate the results.

Limitations

If you use a script with your Workbench project:

  • save your project in 2024 R1 to avoid unexpected issues.

    Or

  • add the following update command in the script: "LightSimulation.GenerateParameters(Task=task1)"
