This guide assumes that you are familiar with the general ACT usage information in the ACT Developer's Guide. It supplies only information specific to using ACT to customize Workbench.
This guide organizes content into primary sections as follows:
Workbench APIs: Describes the ACT APIs that provide for integrating external applications and custom processes into the Workbench workflow.
Workbench Feature Creation: Describes how to define ACT-based task properties as input parameters, output parameters, or non-parameterized values.
Simulation Workflow Integration: Describes custom ACT workflows and the ACT Workflow Designer, which automates workflow setup in Workbench. Also provides technical information and the manual creation process.
Simulation Workflow Integration Examples: Describes supplied extensions that integrate custom workflows in Workbench.
Workbench Wizards: Describes a Workbench project wizard, using a supplied extension as an example.
Note: For information on all ACT API changes and known issues and limitations that may affect your existing ACT extensions, see Migration Notes and Known Issues and Limitations in the Ansys ACT Developer's Guide.
