The Toolbox shows the systems available to you:
- Analysis Systems
Systems that match the workflow required to solve particular types of problems. For example, the Fluid Flow (CFX) system contains tools for creating the geometry, performing the meshing, setting up the solver, using the solver to derive the solution, and viewing the results.
- Component Systems
Systems based on software or software sets. For example, the CFX component system contains Setup (CFX-Pre), Solution (CFX-Solver Manager), and Results (CFD-Post). The Results component system contains only Results (CFD-Post).
- Custom Systems
Systems that combine separate analysis systems. For example, the FSI: Fluid Flow (CFX) > Static Structural system combines Ansys CFX and the Mechanical application to perform a unidirectional (that is, one-way) Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI) analysis.
- Design Exploration
Systems that enable you to see how changes to parameters affect the performance of the system.
Note: Which systems are shown in the Toolbox depends on the licenses that exist on your system. You can hide systems by enabling View > Toolbox Customization and clearing the check box beside the name of the system you want to hide.
To begin using a system, drag it into the Project Schematic area.
