Introduction to Workbench Test Cases

This document presents a collection of test cases demonstrating a number of the capabilities of the Ansys Workbench analysis environment. The available tests are engineering problems that provide independent verification, usually a closed-form equation. Many are classical engineering problems. Consider using the tests as starting points when exploring new Workbench features. Geometries, material properties, loads, and output results can be easily changed and the solution repeated.


Note:  This manual covers structural applications. For fluid dynamics applications, see the Fluid Dynamics Verification Manual.



Note:  Some test cases in this manual require different licenses. A complete list of the products and license features can be found in the Ansys Product to License Feature Mapping table.
