With ANSYS you can use your existing native CAD geometry
directly with no translations, no IGES, and no middle
geometry formats. ANSYS has had native, bi-directional,
integration with the most popular CAD systems for over 10
years and also provides integration directly into the CAD
menu bar making it simple to launch the ANSYS world class
simulation directly from your CAD system.
Parameter and Dimension Control

The ANSYS Workbench Environment uses a unique plug-in
architecture to maintain associativity with the CAD systems
for solid and surface models, allowing you to make design
changes to your CAD model without having to reapply loads
and/or supports. You can either pick the CAD dimension to
change directly, or enhance your design iterations with the
Parameter Manager. The ANSYS Parameter Manager in Workbench
provides an easy way to set up multiple design scenarios by
simply filling out the Parameter Manager spreadsheet and
ANSYS will automatically update the geometry and run your
muliple solutions! Click Image to Enlarge...

ANSYS 12.0 represents a key milestone for the ANSYS
Offshore (ANSYS AQWA & ANSYS ASAS) products, where users
have for the first time seen integration with the ANSYS
Workbench platform, but also significantly increased
interoperability with the ANSYS structural mechanics
products.
