The Auto Submodel extension is the automation of the procedure in doing submodelling from the full model. No repetitive work needed for cutting full geometry, importing interface, resetting contacts, materials etc., as they are all automated.

Easily convert your APDL command objects / snippets into working ACT extensions. Make it easy to create your own custom apps with your own specific APDL code [Contains source code]

Apply a contact compressive only support with possibility to change contact settings (keyopts and real constants)

A powerful tool that provides an alternative to Ansys WB’s built-in compressive support boundary condition. The functionality of Ansys Classic has been transferred to the WB environment so that the user can control all compressive support parameters in a user-friendly way. This is the second version of the extension where the user can choose between two different types of contact elements. The user can choose between CONTA174 and CONTA178 and a full spectrum of advanced settings such as: Contact algorithm, Detection method, Stiffness and many others. Thanks to this extension, advanved analyses using compressive support can be performed without the need to create additional macros, directly from Ansys WB menu. This tool has two contact support definitions: based on 174 element and based on 178 element. User has to decide which option is better in his/her model. Act app has much more options then compression only support in Ansys Workbench.

This tool enables the user to edit the "enable"/"disable" setting of the contact step control and display it in a table using spreadsheet software such as Excel.

Use parameters correlation results to create the DOE for a Response Surface Optimization and automatically deactivate minor parameters with the ability to reuse Design Point values

Additional Design of Experiments types: Full Factorial, LHS with Parameter Relationships (+ ability to match allowed values). Provide some useful utilities: Import Parameters and DOE, Correlation to DOE, RSO to Direct Optimization, Import Parameter Bounds, Export Parameter Bounds, Define Parameter Bounds by Percentage, Remove Failed DOE Points.

Automatic settings of dynamic contact angle for VOF simulations. Write out a UDF source file to calculate the dynamic contact angle and build the UDF library (users do not have to directly edit and compile the UDF source)

Expose element birth and death functionality to deactivate and reactivate bodies or contacts during structural analysis in Mechanical

The extension allows to evaluate the time history of the energies like stiffness energy, kinetic energy, damping energy, work done by external load, artificial energy due to hourglass control/drill stiffness or due to contact stabilization damping, artificial energy due to nonlinear stabilization.

AVX_EFLvsWAVL.ZPL macro automates the focal length distribution extraction in ANSYS Zemax OpticStudio for feeding the AVxcelerate Camera model.

Expose a new DOE type in Ansys DesignXplorer: Full Factorial, supporting up to 10 input parameters, to generate all combinations of parameter levels

This extension makes it easy to configure general contact features that were previously only available in Mechanical APDL on Workbench Mechanical.

The application is a post-treatment based ACT extension designed for Mechanical. It is compatible with all versions of Ansys Workbench from V2019R2 to V2021R1.

Creates Heat Probes for BCs and Contacts, and Export Results and Heat Balance in an Excel File located in the user_files directory

Expose additional graphics action Hotkeys in Mechanical (and Meshing) application for quick access to some common tasks

Allow a user to assign their preferred hot keys (keyboard shortcuts) to custom scripted actions [Contains source code]

This ACT helps automate the process of mapping Boundary Conditions (BCs) from one AEDT Icepak design to another.

Calculate the impact velocity for a transient structural simulation. The impact is based on the contact interaction between two or more bodies/parts

Changes the material assignment of a layer of elements given a user-defined thickness that characterizes this layer

Provides a user interactive interface for building and running Structured-ALE (Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian Method) analysis in Workbench LS-DYNA. Solve high speed Fluid-Structural-Interaction problems such as under water impact and bird strike more easily.

LSP Model Convertor is an act extension wizard. It can convert external model type from abaqus, radioss, nastran, ideas, pamcrash and fluent_msh file to LS-Dyna keyword format via LS_PrePost.

This is an extension that extracts the contour legend in Mechanical's results display onto a dialog, allowing changes to values and settings to be made at once.
