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.

Pre and Post processing tool to create groups of rivets, bolt pretension, simplified bolts and advanced bolts with thread contact section. Rivet and bolt results can be evaluated according to Eurocode 3 and VDI 2230.

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.

Standalone general-purpose program for creation, inspection and modification of curves. Direct edition approach: curve edition directly in the graphical window instead of modification of spreadsheet points. Various functionalities available such as filtering, FFT, equation editor, differentiation, integration, approximation and interpolation techniques, definition and edition of spline curves, curve extraction from image files etc. Additional functionalities for smoothing and extrapolation of BH magneization curves.

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

Scale the density of selected bodies at the environment level by a factor, average density or total mass

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
