If necessary, define appropriate engineering data for your analysis. Right-click the Engineering Data cell, and select Edit, or double-click the Engineering Data cell. The Engineering Data workspace appears, where you can add or edit material data as necessary.

Attach geometry to your system or build new geometry. Right-click the Geometry cell and select Import Geometry... to attach an existing model or select New SpaceClaim Geometry... or New DesignModeler Geometry... to launch the Ansys Discovery SpaceClaim or Ansys DesignModeler application, respectively.

Access the Meshing application functionality. Right-click the Model cell and choose Edit. This step will launch the Ansys Mechanical application.

Once you are in the Mechanical application, you can move between its components by highlighting the corresponding object in the Tree as needed. Select the Mesh object in the Tree to access Meshing application functionality and apply mesh controls.

Define loads and boundary conditions. Right-click the Setup cell and select Edit. The appropriate application for your selected analysis type will open (such as the Mechanical application). Set up your analysis using that application's tools and features.

You can solve your analysis by issuing an Update, either from the data-integrated application you're using to set up your analysis, or from the Ansys Workbench GUI.

Review your analysis results.
