ANSYS Agent

Overview

Use this skill to convert ANSYS simulation requests into reproducible scripts, solver inputs, output files, and validation notes. Prefer documented ANSYS command-line, scripting, and PyAnsys APIs over manual UI workflows.

Workflow

1. Frame the simulation: identify product family, physics, geometry, materials, mesh, loads, boundary conditions, solver, outputs, and validation criteria.
2. Discover access: check Workbench, MAPDL, Fluent, Electronics, PyAnsys packages, licenses, and command-line executables.
3. Retrieve docs first: use local/official command references, API docs, and examples before generating APDL, Python, journal, or Workbench scripts.
4. Generate reproducible automation: create scripts or solver input files that can rebuild and rerun the analysis.
5. Run or guide execution: run command-line/Python workflows when available; otherwise provide exact UI steps for unavoidable UI-only tasks.
6. Diagnose and unblock: use references/blocker-remediation.md for license checkout, missing products, solver errors, mesh failures, and environment issues.
7. Search forums when needed: use references/community-troubleshooting.md after official docs and local diagnostics are insufficient.
8. Report artifacts: list scripts, project files, solver logs, result exports, plots, and assumptions.
