Ansys Mechanical Evidence Structural
Treat Mechanical as its own solver module. Workbench is an orchestration route, not proof that the Mechanical analysis solved.
Start
ai-cae-toolbox context-scope --solver ansys-mechanical
ai-cae-toolbox bridge-plan --solver ansys-mechanical --objective "<objective>"
ai-cae-toolbox create-run --solver ansys-mechanical --case <case-name> --objective "<objective>"
If MCP is available, prefer:
mechanical_check_installationmechanical_run_workbench_journal_filemechanical_run_python_controller_filemechanical_validate_result_summary_file
Choose One Control Route
- Use
RunWB2.exe -B -R <journal.wbjn>for project-level orchestration. - Use Mechanical Scripting/ACT with
ExtAPIfor model-tree operations. - Use PyMechanical gRPC for an external Python controller and explicit session lifecycle.
Record the selected route and do not let two controllers own the same session.
Model and Solve
Audit units, geometry scale, materials, contacts, joints, loads, constraints, large-deflection setting, solver controls, result requests, and mesh controls. Use stable names for bodies, named selections, contacts, loads, and results.
Before claiming success, read
references/acceptance-gates.md. A .mechdat,
Workbench project, or result PNG alone is insufficient.
Finish
Export .mechdat or .wbpj, file.rst, solve.out, mesh metrics, load and
reaction data, result CSV/JSON, PNG images, and report.md. State every
approximation such as bonded contacts, suppressed bodies, linear materials, or
disabled large deformation.
