Hi

Workbench (wb) is another say pre-processor for the apdl solver. So in the end (when we aredone with our model) it will generate a ds.dat that is then run (solved) by the apdl solver. Finally we post-process in Workbench again once the solution is finished. So it uses the same apdl language/syntax (see in the ds.dat file that it creates), hence why we can also add apdl command snippets into wb/mechanical

Hope this helps

Erik
