DesignXplorer systems can be added beneath the Parameter Set bar, allowing you to perform in-depth Design Exploration studies.

DesignXplorer is a powerful approach for designing and understanding the analysis response of parts and assemblies. It uses a deterministic method based on Design of Experiments (DOE) and various optimization methods, with parameters as its fundamental components. These parameters can come from any supported system, DesignModeler, and various CAD systems. Responses can be studied, quantified, and graphed. Using a Goal Driven Optimization method, the deterministic method can obtain a multiplicity of design points. You can explore the calculated Response Surface and generate design points directly from the surface or transfer data from other analysis systems or components to a Direct Optimization system.

The following Design Exploration systems are available in Workbench:

These systems are available only if you have installed the Ansys DesignXplorer product and have an appropriate license.
