Solver Customization & Scripting

Customization capabilities through user elements, user materials and scripting using ANSYS Parametric Design Language (APDL) provide flexibility and extend the capability of applications for mechanical solutions.

APDL is the foundation for accessing sophisticated features of the structural mechanics solver. In addition, engineers can use APDL to automate common tasks, build their own parametric models, perform design optimization, construct adaptive meshing, etc., as it offers many convenient features such as parameters, macros, branching, looping, and repeating and array parameters that can be used in day-to-day analyses.
