ANSYS is a highly advanced program for performing a wide range of analyses based around a finite element analysis engine. Thanks to its well-developed feature set in static, non-static and CFD problems, it is well-used by mechanical engineers and the like, but less so in structural engineering, where programs such as Robot and GSA are preferred. However, a recent task called for a quick deflection analysis of a prototype building form, which turned into an opportunity to try out this program.
