ACT is a unified and consistent toolkit for the customization and expansion of Ansys products. Using ACT, you can create extensions to tailor the Ansys products listed in the introduction to meet your product-specific and multi-physics simulation needs. You can also engage the Ansys simulation ecosystem through integration and custom workflow techniques.
The purpose of this document is to:
Present a high-level overview of ACT, introducing you to the general concepts that you need to know to develop extensions.
Help you to start developing your own extensions, from the initial design phase through the implementation and—when desired—to the final posting of your app to the Ansys Store. On the App Developer Resources page of the Ansys Store, the Post My ACT Application tab displays a link for downloading posting instructions.
Provide references and links to ACT documentation and resources so that you can easily access relevant information, such as:
Sections in ACT guides that specifically address your objective
Reference guides containing API and XML information
ACT extension and template examples
Deliver specialized customization "roadmaps" designed to guide you through the steps of creating the desired type of ACT customization for an Ansys product.
