Workbench Scripting Guide explains how to use the journaling and scripting capabilities within AIM and Ansys Workbench. You can record the actions you perform via the GUI (journaling). Journals are recorded as Python-based scripts. You can then modify these scripts or create new ones, which we refer to as scripting. Together, these capabilities allow you to quickly and easily replay analyses you've already run via recorded journals, as well as to extend functionality, automate repetitive analyses, and run analyses in batch mode.
