Introduction

Ansys ACT is a platform, providing a unified and consistent environment for quickly developing and deploying easy-to-use apps. With ACT, you can create apps to customize the following Ansys products:

  • DesignModeler

  • Electronics Desktop

  • Fluent

  • Mechanical

  • SpaceClaim

  • Workbench

This guide offers an introduction to ACT, describing its capabilities and how to use them. While primarily intended for developers of ACT apps, it also provides information for end users who manage and execute apps.

Note:  Because ACT apps typically extend the functionality of Ansys products, ACT uses the terms app and extension interchangeably.

This first section describes the Ansys Product Improvement Program, provides an overview of how this guide is organized, supplies getting started information on using ACT, and provides important information related to licensing, migration, and known issues and limitations:
