Ansys, Inc. supports silent mode operations, including installation, configuring/unconfiguring, and uninstalling.
Note: Ansys, Inc. requires that you have full administrative privileges when installing any software on Microsoft Windows, including the ability to edit the Windows registry. Non-administrative accounts do not usually have the permissions required to access system areas that installation programs often need to modify. "Full administrative privileges" means that you are running as administrator with UAC turned off, or you are running as administrator with UAC turned on and selected.
Windows uses a feature called User Account Control (UAC) to control privileges and automatically reduce the potential of security breaches in the operation system. However, UAC limits your accessibility to system areas and can cause unpredictable behavior in Ansys, Inc. products, as noted below.
You can specify the following product flags. These flags are all valid for a silent install. However, because of the way the products are packaged, not all of these flags may be valid for a silent configuration/unconfiguration or uninstall. Not all products are available on all platforms.
For silent mode operations, if you do not specify any product arguments, all available products will be installed, configured, or uninstalled.

| SpaceClaim Direct Modeler Configuration* | -scdm_config |
| * The SpaceClaim Direct Modeler Configuration and Ansys SpaceClaim Configuration product flags perform product configuration only and and DO NOT perform any product installation functions. SpaceClaim Direct Modeler is installed as part of WorkBench while Ansys SpaceClaim is a stand-alone application. While SpaceClaim Direct Modeler and Ansys SpaceClaim can be installed on the same computer, only one of the applications can be configured with Ansys Workbench at any given time. | |
| The following silent flags are used to introduce the Ansys Workbench into the appropriate CAD application. Each set of commands includes a configuration flag and a flag specifying the path where the CAD application is installed. For the Creo Parametric path flags, select the Parametric folder located in the Creo installation directory. For the NX path flags, select the folder where ugraf.exe is installed. | |
