v12 Nomenclature
The Simulation tool from v11 has been renamed to ANSYS

ANSYS Mechanical
Mechanical .
The reasoning behind this is that all mechanical simulation (structural and
thermal) is handled with this tool.
It is NOT a licensing designation

Essentially the same as v11 with a few exceptions:
Mechanical is now a non-native Workbench application (runs in its own

window). Several Mechanical windows can be open simultaneously (the same
is p
possible with DesignModeler

FE Modeler
2009 CAE Associates
v11 FE Modeler Features
At v11 ANSYS introduced the capability of generating geometry from a

finite element mesh.
The process was FE code independent (works with ANSYS, Nastran, Abaqus,
etc).
Initial geometry was generated based on finite element mesh facets.
Transformations could be added to morph the mesh.
The mesh and solid model could be loaded into the Simulation tool and either
run using the morphed mesh, or remeshed in Simulation.
NO GEOMETRY DEFEATURING USING DESIGNMODELER WAS
POSSIBLE!
121
v12 FE Modeler Geometry Features
At v12 the ability to generate a parasolid file of the Initial Geometry and
load it into DesignModeler has been added.
