Workflows 22.1 (released with Oasys Suite 22.1)

Many pre- and post-processors offer a range of tools that can be used to configure and interrogate Ansys LS-DYNA models. However:

The basic tools are not always customised for Ansys LS-DYNA, or for specific loadcases
You may need to perform many manual steps to process your results, which can be time-consuming and prone to error
Scripting APIs can be used to create tools to automate tasks, but this requires time, resource and knowledge, which is not always available

To address these issues, we introduced Workflows. Workflows is a powerful framework that provides you with customised tools that work seamlessly from pre-processing through to post-processing, providing results quickly and reliably.
