Multiple Design Points Workflow

Workbench allows you to create multiple design points and generate comparison studies (what-if studies) of input and output parameters.

To analyze your simulation across several design points:

  1. In Ansys applications, generate input parameters for the current project (and, if appropriate, specify output parameters to be created).

    A Parameters cell is added to the relevant systems and a Parameter Set bar is added to the project. The current project is designated as design point 0, or DP 0.

  2. Create or edit the input parameters.

  3. Create multiple design points by duplicating an existing design point or by entering values.

  4. Set whether you want to retain the files generated during the design point update for further analysis.

    Workbench saves the data for the current design point, any retained design points, and the values of the output parameters computed for each design point.

  5. Update the design points.
