ANSYS Structural Workbench

Operate Workbench as an engineering workflow with explicit quality gates. Treat the MCP as the execution adapter and this Skill as the analysis, meshing, validation, and reporting policy.

Mandatory book-guidance route

Before inspecting settings for engineering acceptance, mutating the model, meshing, or solving, load ansys-workbench-practical-reference once and use it to select the physics-specific book-derived guidance. This is a required intake gate, not an optional source lookup.

• Every Static Structural task must load ansys-workbench-static-modeling-reference.
• A static task with contact or friction must load both ansys-workbench-static-modeling-reference and ansys-workbench-nonlinear-contact-reference.
• Also load ansys-workbench-nonlinear-contact-reference for plasticity, large deflection, buckling, stabilization, changing contact state, or nonlinear convergence.
• Modal, transient, explicit, thermal, and optimization tasks load only their matching narrow reference Skill; do not load unrelated book domains.

The book-derived Skills govern modeling assumptions and physical checks. This Skill governs live MCP actions, evidence, and safe execution. Record which guidance Skills were loaded in the task intake or final report. Do not repeatedly re-route after the applicable set has been loaded.
